Jon.
I know the FZ8 and FZ18 does, as long as you keep the ISO setting below 400, they are both amazing camera's, especially given their fairly low price.

Funny you mentioned that, I've just purchased a FZ18, partly for its ability to shoot raw. The other reasons are the 18x optical zoom, and more controls than a typical P&S. I want to step up to a DSLR at some point, but most of the features are useless to me at this point as I've no idea how to use most of them. The FZ18 is my stepping stone, for now. It should be here tomorrow, in time for the festivities this weekend. Can't wait.

I hope you enjoy, at lower ISO settings, they are great (you should have no problems shooting outside, or in decent lighting). I strongly considered the FZ18, as well as the Canon S5, but ended up pulling the trigger on the Sony H7.

I'm like you, in the future I'll likely look at a DSLR, but for the time being...I couldn't be happier.
