Pont and shoot camera raw

i am interested in buying a point and shoot that has the latest technology, an optical viewfinder, 7-10 mp and has camera raw. i have the canon s50 which has 4 year old technology but has raw and so far i find it impossible to find raw in the new cameras. i have a nikon d70 and will upgrade soon to a d200, but want the p and shoot to have on my belt for just walking around.
can anyone suggest an answer for me?

Your grasp of the camera market seems to be on a par with your understanding of the Japanese culture and their contributions to technology. That you feel the need to use a pejorative in a setting like this also reflects a certain mind set.
As the industry moves further away from film, and you have the casual picture taker replacing their film camera with a digital when it dies, the digital market will reflect more of the old paradigm. The snap shooters going for the point and shoots and the more serious photographers buying SLR's. Just as the point and shoot film cameras lacked a lot of the controls of the SLR's, so it will go in digital. Regardless of marketing nonsense, there is no industry toiling to produce a product just for YOU.
If RAW is a primary consideration, pick up a nice used camera that had that feature. If the control of RAW processing is what your after, ACR4 lets you process JPG's. Just turn off the in-camera processing parameters. If you're after absolute image quality, you'll be using an SLR anyway, eh?
While the numbers are higher for P&S sales, there is much better profit in SLR sales, what with lenses and accessories and all.
I'm also curious why you would have problems with your prints. You certainly don't take your files to a discount joint for printing, do you? Any professional custom lab should have no problem following any printing directions you would give them.

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite with my Mac so I have an installed version. I have tried rebooting, but to no avail. When I search for help on the site, none of the help explanations fit (e.g., delete a folder that doesn't exist on my computer). I have a 27 inch iMac running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1. Thanks.

Sscrase what specific error messages did you receive within the installation log files for the update?

I have an Air running Mountain Lion. I also have a digital point-and-shoot camera, but have never downloaded any images from the camera to this Air. If I connect the camera to the Air, what might I expect? Will connecting the camera to the Air by a cable

I have an 11" Air with lots of remaining capacity running Mountain Lion. I also have a digital point-and-shoot camera. I have never downloaded images from the camera to this Air. However, if I just connect the camera to the Air's USB port, with the camera's available cable, and the Air is open, will a program like ImageCapture or iPhoto, auomatically come up, and I can begin to download wanted images? Or, will this sort of connection delete or fry everything on the Air? Do I need any other software on board? Will current Apple onboard programs allow me to download images from my camera and not destroy everything else?

Answered. Thanks.

You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.

Photoshop Elements 9 and Adobe Camera RAW 6.6

My Significant Other just purchased a Nikon 1 V1 camera. I have an extra copy of Elements 9 that I can install on her computer. According to the Release Notes, support for the Nikon 1 V1 started with ACR 6.6. According to the same Release Notes, ACR 6.6 runs under Photoshop Elements 9.
"This new version of the Camera Raw plug-in replaces the original Camera Raw plug-in that was installed with Photoshop CS5, Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9. "
and
"The Camera Raw 6.6 plug-in is not compatible with versions of Photoshop earlier than Photoshop CS5 or versions of Photoshop Elements earlier than Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows and Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac. "
The Photoshop Elements update page, however, suggest that ACR 6.5 was the last version of ACR that ran under Photoshop Elements 9. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Windows
Which is correct, the Release Notes or the Update Page?

After you install photoshop elements 9 on the vista machine follow the steps below to install the camera raw 6.6 plugin:
1. Download the 6.6 DNG Converter and install the profiles:
   http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5310
2. Download the 6.6 camera raw plugin zip file:
   http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5316
3. Unzip the folder by right clicking on folder and choosing Extract All
4. Inside the extracted folder doulble click on the Payloads folder
5. Then double click on the CameraRawForElements6.4All-011211045300 folder
   (should be the second folder with a size of 16.0 mb)
6. Right click on the Assets2_1.zip and choose Extract All
7. Rename the file from 1002 to Camera Raw.8bi
8. Right click on the Camera Raw.8bi and choose Copy
9 Go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 9\File Formats (64 bit vista)
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 9\File Formats (32 bit vista)
10. Drag the old camera raw plugin to the Recycle Bin and right click in the empty space in the folder and choose Paste
Start the pse 9 editor and under Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw should hopefully say version 6.6.

Can I import and export Camera Raw photos in Photos?

I don't know where to ask this question because I don't see Photos listed in any of the Support Communities topics. I want to be able to import and export Camera Raw files in Photos. It only gives me the option to export in jpeg, tiff, or png formats. Any ideas?
Thanks.

And the duplicate reply to your duplicate question - one posting is enough
Photos is part of the os and the forum is under OS X
To export the RAW file menu ==> export ==> Unmodified original

Having trouble deciding on a point and shoot camera.

I have been searching for a point and shoot camera and I have narrowed it down to two cameras. The cameras that I'm looking at are the Cannon Powershot SX510 HS 12.1mp with a 30x optical zoom and the other one is the Fujifilm FinePix S8200 16.2mp with a 40x optical zoom. They are both on sale for the same price. Which one should I get??

I have found with the power zooms that once you get above 14x optical you really start to lose quality. In large part because the more you zoom the more of an issue camera shake comes into play.
Keep in mind these are little bitty lenses trying to do the job of a higher quality piece of glass in a SLR lens.
The actual distance between the front and back of the P&S lens is shorter than on SLR Lens (typically)
Think of it this way. Take a 12" ruler. Put it on wegde at the 1/2" mark. every little movement of the short end of the stick makes a more dramatic movement on the other end.
With a 30x optical zoom or more you really are going to accentuat that a lot more. So a 1mm movment at the base of the camera will result in a larger movement at the other end. At that level you will need to have a tripod to get as clear of an image as possible.
Go into a store that has the high optical zoom cameras. Find something that is very far away and zoom in on it as far as you can. Try to hold that camera still enought that the image does not move.
Also, the more you zoom the higer your f/Stop is going to be. Which means less light, which means a longer shutter release which equates to a more shaky photo.
If you really want power zoom I would strongly suggest investing in a Canon, Nikon, or Sony DSLR

Point and Shoot Camera with Remote Capabilities

I am looking to get a point and shoot camera, prefer to stay within Canon, but I need to be able to use a remote with it. Is this possible? I have a Canon 60D which I have a remote for, but looking to add a point and shoot to my collection. Thank you.

Hey kmsundby,
I'm not aware of any Point-and-Shoot camera that can utilize a wireless remote, but Canon's flagship Point-and-Shoot cameras the G1X and G15 do accept the wireless remote model RS60-E3.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for all of your advise, I really appreciate it! I know I'm not going to get everything I want in a camera unless I buy a SLR camera, but that wouldn't meet my needs since you can't get into concerts with those types since they consider them "professional." I was actually leaning toward the ZS7 because I have head a lot of good reviews on it from people at concerts and have watched amazing videos shot with that camera at concerts. The zoom is incredibly as well as the sound. Also to clarify my first post about low light, concerts aren't usually that low lighted so I wouldn't need a camera that excelled in low lighting. Do you own a ZS7? If so, what do you like about it and what don't you like about it?
Concerts are actually usually quite dark, especially by photography standards. Perhaps this will help to clarify things a bit:
Direct Sunlight: 32,000–130,000 lux
Full Daylight (indirect sun): 10,000–25,000 lux
Typical Family Living Room: 50 lux
This means that even the lowest amount of full daylight provides 200 times as much light as the typical family's living room. So you can imagine the scenario for a dimly lit concert.
However, I do own a ZS7 and have used one successfully at concerts. Using spot metering, shutter priority and going up to ISO 800 is the best advice I can give you. ISO 400 is better if you can get proper exposure with it. Keep in mind that you are NOT going to be able to hold the camera still enough at full zoom to get blur free pictures in this lighting, so make sure you get decent seats.
I love my ZS7 but the tiny sensor found in the ZS7 and all other P&S pocket cams (except for the Canon S90/S95, Samsung EX1, Panasonic LX3/LX5 and any others with equivalently sized sensors and faster lenses) doesn't do well in low light. Don't fall for that BSI (backlit) CMOS sensor crap that Sony pushes. There are marginal improvements over the other tiny sensor cams but performance is still poor and the daylight performance is much worse than their CCD counterparts at this point. Remember that low light essentially includes all indoor phtography as well as very overcast days, dusk, sundown, etc.
The ZS7 has great contrast and color and a slew of features. It's well made and very versatile. Really the old thing I don't like is the low light performance. I also find the video to contain a lot of artifacting, though it's in line with any other 720p pocket cam. I would defintiely recommend it but if low light is a major concern, check out the other cameras I mentioned as they offer a 40% larger sensor and a faster lens.
Here's a good concert pic with the ZS7. Metric was on during the day and even though it was overcast, it was fairly bright out.
... and here is a bad concert pic with the ZS7. It was very difficult to take pics once SSPU came on as it was after 9pm and dark out.

Best Point and Shoot camera for concerts and all around photos

What point and shoot camera would be best for good concert pictures and videos yet also having good pictures for basic use.? I would like a good zoom lense also....I've tried the Nikon S9300, P510, and canon Powershot Sx260 yet the nikons made pictures bluring at a recent conert and wasnt always getting in focus..
Ive been looking at the Sony DSC-HX20v, Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS19 as well as the previous ones too
want good zoom, HD video and not too bulky

I could not tell you the best because I have not tried all cameras.
However, i researched for a long time and purhcased a Canon SX270 and I am exceptionally happy with it.
It works very good i low light

Compatible Point and Shoot Cameras

What are the best point and shoot cameras to use with the MAC?

Any point and shoot that takes jpegs to a Card of some kind. In other words: about 99.95% of point and shoot cameras. As a rule: avoid anything branded "Barbie" or the like. Stick to the major brands - Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Panasonic etc - and you'll have no problems.

Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. Working on a Mac in Photoshop CS5 and have camera raw 6.7.

Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. Working on a Mac with Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.7?

Bruce,
When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com
I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com
I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
Good luck,
Rob
