Best Compact Cameras with RAW support

A camera RAW image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor, which means less loss in image quality and more room for post-processing. All DSLR and Mirrorless cameras can already shoot RAW, so this is a more decisive feature for compact type cameras.

Here we have listed the Best 10 Compact Cameras with RAW support sorted by score. Leica Q is at the top of our list with a Overall Score of 83, followed by Sony RX1R II and Panasonic FZ2500.
