I am having a problem figuring out how to set this camera to take raw photos. i am only getting jpg options. can someone please help me?

1. press the OK key in the middle of the 4 way keypad to bring up the quick menu.2. arrow up or down to get to the file format setting (it should be right under aspect ratio 4:33. arrow left or right to select RAW, LF+RAW, LN+RAW etc. RAW will just produce a RAW file, LF+RAW will produce both a jpeg (Large Fine) and a RAW each time you take a picture.Good luck, I hope that helps.Sean

Can you charge it with a usb cable? (Ie: solar charger while backpacking)

Yes. Good idea using solar through a USB port.

Can't decide between red or black... which one will show the least amount of scuff marks?

The physics of light need to be considered. The camera is not a light emitter, so only reflection is relevant. Light reflects off at an angle equal to the angle at which the light hits the red surface. So with an object to be photographed close to the lens, if the light (sun) is shining from behind the photographer, there will be no reflection since the photographer is blocking the sunlight. If the sun is shining from the side of the photographer, the angle of reflection will glance that light off to the side (opposite the sun) of the object to be photographed. In order to have the low angle of reflection off the red surface that could hit the object to be photographed and appear in the image, the sun would have to be almost directly hitting the red camera surface from almost directly in front of the camera , and where the object to be photographed would seem to be mostly blocking the sun in a macro type of image capture. I'm struggling to see how this happens, but I do understand black as a color that absorbs light.

How many images can a 32mb memory card hold

Gosh. The images are about 6 mb each..that's only 5 imsges. are you sure you don't mean a 32 gig card? I got a 128 gig card and it handle a couple hundred. It's the extra batteries you need.. i carry 2. The camera is small and do the battery has to be small.. lasts a bout 8 hrs if traveling and shooting along the way. .I think the gps lock and flash really are the big juice users.
