I have been using the S7000 for two and a half years and have gotten excellent results with it. Though there is a RAW mode (contrary to what the OP said), I shoot most of my pics in 12mp fine soft jpeg and get excellent prints from them, often with no more post-processing than to crop the pic. Fuji seems to have an excellent jpeg engine in both their digicams and their DSLRs. Since the S7000 is no longer in production I would recommend one of it\'s decendants in the S9xxx line.
