Cheap decent RAW-shooting P&S?
I'm looking for a cheap (<$200) Point&Shoot camera for my wife to replace her Nikon Coolpix S2500. It's not a bad camera but since we're using RAW processing, it'd be nice to have that capability.
I haven't been able to make headway on choices due partially to lack of choice/availability in Canada. We're thinking of a Canon S110 which the canon.us store has refurbs on sale for $130. Is that a decent camera for the money?

I have no personal experience, but the DPR review is quite positive, with the "who this is best for" aligned with what you're asking for. At that price, given what it lists/sells for retail, I suspect it would be very hard to beat.

Back for $110.
If you buy one, check the serial number for the service bulletin, and then deliberately use it in hot and/or humid conditions to make sure it goes wrong and gets fixed.
