I have a Nikon P900 which I really enjoy. The one drawback is it’s inability to shoot raw. Can anyone suggest another point and shoot camera with super telephoto (P900 is 83x optical zoom) that shoots raw?
Thank you.
Thank you.
The Canon SX-60 does CR2 while providing 65X optical zoom.

I have a Nikon D500. I just want to know what is the purpose of using Shutter Priority for sports when you can't move the aperture? I tried it and got pretty much a dark mess in bright sunlight. Thanks for helping.
I don't understand your question. In shutter priority you select a shutter speed, and then the camera selects an aperture which should give proper exposure given your choice of shutter speed; if some areas are very bright and others are very dark, then it will select a compromise which may over-expose part of the image and under-expose part of it, but within the limits of your dynamic range, it should be correct. The purpose of this is to select a shutter speed sufficiently high to "freeze" the action.

I don't think it's a current model any longer but they have been known to be pretty good cameras. I'd start with their kit lens which is an 18-55mm lens. I hear the optics aren't bad for a kit lens.
My K-30 was kitted with the 18-55mm, but as soon as I could, I "retired" that lens in favor of the 18-135mm, which IMHO is vastly superior.
added: I also have Pentax's 55-300mm and Sigma's 10-20mm; for a trip to Europe, the 10-20mm would be my choice for a second lens.

Do you have bootable media for some other O/S so you can demonstrate that the issue is not in the boot process for your computer?

If the flange distance is shorter than on the original camera/lens combo, it may be possible to make an adapter that extends the lens away from the camera. From what I'm reading here, the proposed Nikon mirrorless will have a relatively short flange distance, so an adapter for the older lenses may be possible. As for the electronic connections, I don't know.
The point of the earlier comments is that a rather sophisticated adapter would be needed to work with lots of different lenses.

Is this better than the pixel shift built into cameras manufactured by various companies? The one I'm most familiar with is Pentax, but they aren't unique these days.

Thank you for posting the link. I do have to say since I have been on factory tour of Corning's single mode optical fiber plant I was expecting something more high tech.
I'm guessing that "updating" the plant would neither reduce costs nor improve quality enough to justify it in light of their current financial state; they're probably reserving capital for updating their product line, including their stated plans to develop APS-C/FF MILC.

Or consider Linux. I've been using the Ubuntu variant all week and it is doing just fine so far.

Audience for this thread is completely different from audience for these cameras. Canon management is quite competent; they know who purchases their cameras and what those people want; I was surprised at how long it took them to come up with a MILC with an EVF - either this was a blindspot for them, or else they were intentionally hobbling the M-series to help the Rebel series. They have a demonstrated ability, going back thirty years, to make top-notch modern lenses. I'm not a lens designer, so I cannot say this for certain, but I'm guessing their modern tools give them the ability to tweak a modern EF mount lens and come away with an EF-M mount fairly quickly. Right now, the M-series is clearly aimed at the Rebel series audience, and apparently they have some reason to think that this group either has limited interest in "fast" lenses or else that they can meet this interest via adapters for now. I don't know if they are right, but I'm curious to see how things develop. Clearly, because of how their lenses developed, Nikon has a tougher chore.
Meanwhile, I just pop some corn and watch. As a 70 year old Pentax user, there is little possibility any of this stuff will actually affect me.
added: Once you get away from normal lenses, weight is a non-issue. EVF and CDAF focus are the main issues.

Just stop it SS...you know that in most cases, that sensor on the latest m4/3 models is on par IQ wise with the canon M50 aps-c sensor.
Add to the fact that m4/3 has much faster native glass options, and there is simply no comparison. f2.8 is f2.8 no matter what mount it was designed for. The DOF may be different, but light is light. FYI, I consider f2.8 to be slow.

I've already answered this question. The current audience for the EOS-M cameras doesn't care about "fast" lenses.

I received my very first camera at age 67. It’s a pre owned Canon t4i. I have 2 kit lenses (18-55 mm and 75-300 mm.) Following unsolicited advice from a number of people I have added a 50 mm f1.8 prime lens. I feel that I have already outgrown the kit lenses and it has been suggested that I save up for an L lens. Do you all concur or disagree. I shoot birds, architectural landscapes, flowers and grandkids. I have not yet found my photography passion. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Where would a new purchase make a difference for you? In other words, where would something new add to what you are currently doing? That is where your spending should take you.
In my case, I have issues in low light; the conventional answer is to purchase "f/2.8" lenses, but I don't want to surrender Depth Of Field, so my next purchase will be a KP {even though my K-30 is just three years old} because "testimony" from current users is that the KP makes high ISO values very useable.

I only see f5.6 lenses. Is canon planning to make 2.8 or better lenses?
I believe the M-famiy is aimed at the same audience as the Rebels.
The average user is probably mostly happy with the current lineup.
