looking for a new camera i have a power shot sd880 but it will not process the large partition of sd cards, i read that the camera needs to be produced in 2008 or later for this function to work so i am looking for a new camera that will have this function because i would like to shoot time lapses in raw format. any suggestions or assistance in this matter would greatly be appreciated.
thank you.

All Canon P&S cameras produced after the start of 2011 support booting from large partitions ( FAT 32 ) on their SD cards.

Earlier camera will usually support large partitions, but need a smaller ( FAT 16 format ) partition for booting. This requires the use of dual partitions. Either that or CHDK needs to be loaded by the "firmware update" method.
