I don't believe any of them shoot RAW. I think the A40 has the highest resolution number (12MP) but it doesn't mean much because the sensors in these cameras are tiny. I doubt you'd be able to do 11" x 17" even at 300dpi with any consistancy. The newer models do seem to have slightly better dynamic range than their older cousins. I have the W60 and it does a much better job at keeping highlights tamed. The lenses are also only so-so and all seem prone to abberations to one degree or another.
It's certainly possible to get great images from the Optio cameras (at least under heavily controlled conditions) but I've found after 50,000+ images with them that they're really best suited for snaps. -Brendan --- ann sanfedele <[email protected]> wrote: > I got a little bit of money for my birthday....
