I just found my powershot I though I lost(Have some questions)

[fireplug]

So I basically just found my Canon Powershot S5IS last night while looking for something else. I never really used it because I ended up getting a Canon 40D a few months later. Anyways, Now that I actually have it and want to use it(for business trips and such), I just have a few Q's because I can't find my manual:

-Can it shoot RAW?
-Whats with the removable ring?(Does it have a purpose?)
-If the new powershot ever comes to America, will that be worth the upgrade or just stick with this?



Thanks.:lol:

So I'm guessing this remvoable ring is for the lenses you can attached on to it? If so that's pretty neat...(sorry im a newb haha).

Not for "lenses", but for an adapter with the option to add "converters" / "conversion lenses" or filters. Have a look at this link (http://www.lensmateonline.com/newsite/S2.html) to get a clue...

So they are like Lens enhancers...? Pretty cool though. :D
