I've been looking at web sites, specifically looking for pocketable digicams
that do RAW format. It would be great of there was a web site somewhere that
actually listed them, or gave some short cut of this sort.

Any ideas- any web sites that make the search easier?

And while I'm asking- does anyone have any recommendations for particular
cameras that fit this description?

TIA for any info.

The feature "uncompressed format" can be set to RAW or TIFF, the
"Format" can be set to Compact or Ultra-Compact.

Canon S70 is about your only choice. It's larger than the ultra-compacts
though. Note that the S80 dropped the RAW format.

Both the Leica D-LUX 2 and Panasonic DMC-LX1 do.

Here's a review of the LX1.

Only if you're restricted to Canon. Other manufacturers also
offer pocketable cameras with raw output.

Forgot toa say a thing : check also their reviews for writing times, it
might be prohibitive for some models to shoot RAW (I remember of an
(old ;o) Dimage7, you could go for a cup of coffe between one RAW shot
and the next one...).

Not according to dpreview.

Go to: "http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare.asp"

Select "compact" and "raw" and choose a reasonable zoom range of 28-100.
Five cameras come up, but only two are "pocketable," the S60 and S70.
The latest in the series, the S80, dropped the RAW format.

If you expand the selection to eliminate the relative wide angle (28mm),
then you can add the Fuji Finepix F700, and the Samsung Digimax V700,
but most people who care about RAW, also are probably smart enough to
insist on the wider-angle lens.

Indeed. I own one

There's also a couple of Fujis - the F710 is the compact one
(I think), and of course the Ricoh GR-D. But the LX1 was
certainly my choice.
