Casio P700 - dpreview criticism

[sorensense]

I'm interested in the P700 but dp review indicated that it had "intrusive noise reduction" and no raw format. First, does it have "intrusive noise reduction" and how important is that in enjoying the camera? Does it have raw format and if not, how important is that? I'm interested in this camera because of its size (not too small, not too big), its speed (reportedly very fast for sports) and overall quality. Would you agree? Thanks.
