...the subject of embarrasing questions - what is a RAW file?
I assume, because I only ever see the three letters in capitals, that they
stand for something.  I gather it's a bigger, better file than a compressed
jpg file, but what does it stand for?

I don't want to pay Olympus money. Would I be able to use someone else's, as

sight) worked quite well but I'd prefer a bit less chromatic aberration.

I'm thinking of buying a fuji s5500.  Any comments (good/bad!) about it

aggressive, too good to be true?
