The main complaint I had about the Canon G7 is that it didn’t support shooting RAW. Apparently Canon was listening. According to their recent announcement, they have reintroduced RAW mode in the G9.

Yes, I heard this too. A friend of mine was considering the G9. The impression I had was that Canon suffered a lot of complaints about lack of RAW in the G7 and G8.
