Never mind, the S70 does raws and it's listed as "All, Viewfinder" by gphoto. 7 MP, still mostly under $50. I bought the A520 on a whim, then did better research and the S70 stuck in my head. S80 doesn't do raws I don't think. On 12/14/17, Alan Corey <ala...@gm...> wrote: > Quite possibly. Other than a sticky lens cover the rest of the camera > seems functional.
