Never mind raw on a point and shoot, I want my DSLR to properly support
shooting in raw. I want metering and histograms based on the raw data.
I want to choose metering modes so I can use "expose to the right" for
raw, and if I want to shoot jpeg I can choose 18% grey, or whatever they
call it.
For doing landscape and studio work, I fantasize about a mode that will
take a test shot (or three), examine the raw data and set the exposure
for details in the highlights or the shadows, or the bracketing for an
HDR series of exposures that will cover the full tonal range. I want a
TAv mode for the green button in M, so that I can set the shutter speed
and aperture based on a critical element of the photo, have it set the
ISO, and then just leave it there.
Everything about using my camera indicates that raw is an afterthought,
and the UI is optimized for people that want a $1,000 point and shoot
with interchangeable lenses.
