I'm not sure about "hitting the wall", but it may be that Canon's in-camera
processors are getting so close to RAW+Post-Processing that it's a moot
point for 95% of their customers. I suspect that the lack of RAW support
on the G7 won't make a blip on it's sales.
All the non-photographer types that I know using DSLRs (probably 50
people?), don't even know what RAW is, much less its advantages. MR of
luminous-landscape lives on a different planet from most of the consumer
photo-taking world; his dumping on the G7 for the lack of RAW support will
have zero impact, IMO.

I wasn't aware of this decision when Canon released the Powershot G7:

Sounds like we're getting close to some theoretical limit with imaging
chips. Mebbe?
