Didn't realise there was another thread about this, but just to confirm it does work on the G7's DIGIC III processor (and so the G9 too I presume).

So finally, I took some RAW shots on my G7 last night

now time to figure out how to process them...

"work on the G7's DIGIC III processor (and so the G9 too I presume)."

G9 shoots RAW and is supported by PS/Lightroom, etc. That's why its so popular

Go to this link and download the RAW converter:

After doing so, you can convert your .CRW files into DNG files.

You can then use Lightroom or Photoshop Elements or CS3 to process your photos.

I have used this on an A570 IS, and supposedly it supports the G7.

Have fun,

The firmware does much more than just allow RAW, it 'unlocks' wider control over shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, bracketing, also provides a battery meter (still missing from the G9 I think ?).

And yes conversion to DNG works fine.
