I'm pretty sure that once you turn the mode dial to one of the special features, like EXR or ADV (which is where you find the "pro focus", "pro low light", and "panorama"), the camera's brain takes everything over and its just shooting jpeg. My understanding is that if you use the camera's EXR capabilities in PASM modes (just by turning the resolution down to "M"), you can still shoot raw, so you can get the EXR capabilities in raw as long as you don't turn the mode dial to EXR in order to get there. So far, I've only tried this with the in-camera raw processing and it seemed to work well enough, but your options are limited. Until Apple adds X10 support to Aperture, I won't really know how well this works with non-Fuji raw processors. But, honestly, the Fuji jpegs, on both this camera and the X100, are so good and leave so much processing headroom, that I may never end up shooting raw with this camera after some initial experimentation. I found I could almost never improve on the X100 jpegs so I just stopped shooting raw on that one and I could imagine the same thing happening with the X10, although I'll be a bit more cautious with the smaller sensor...
