Does the Sony H5 have 'RAW' capability?

We are just beginning to learn about photography beyond the basics and encountered the term 'RAW" in a class yesterday. Does the H5 have that feature? The instructor said that unless we can store images in RAW format we are wasting our time.

No, it doesn't. But while RAW is great because it is uncompressed and stores everything datawise, unless you're planning to do serious photo processing, it's not all that necessary. Then again, if your teacher wants you to shoot Raw, you shoot Raw. Check out the Canon G11.
