Nothing, but as a viewfinder subject to glare
reflection on bright sunny conditions.

The Olympus SP-550UZ, SP-560UZ, and SP-570UZ cameras shoot raw.

And with a hack it does, rather well.

Your point would be?

You listed the A640 in response to a query about compacts that do raw. The
G9, listed immediately above your reply does this. The A640 does not do raw
out of the box, which is pretty obvious what the OP was looking for. Had
the OP asked for cameras that do raw by hacking them, that could be just
about any of them.

I eventually got a Ricoh GRD - I love it! goes everywhere with me -
chose it over the GRDII due to the sensor

Thanks for the input!
