Is there a point-and-shoot digital camera that can shoot raw high quality images?

Asked by Glow (1366points) March 14th, 2010

I currently have a DSLR, canon rebel xs, and it takes good photos for documentation of my artwork. I can shoot in raw and edit the images and they will still look crisp and clear when printed out, unlike JPEG images. But, I’m horribly low on cash and I am now thinking I should sell the camera for what I bought it for (380) which is a good price for the camera being lightly used, and compared to what it is new (500). I wanted to get a point and shoot around 100ish, but I thought the loss of shooting with out raw will really bite me in the arse in the long run, being an artist who plans to expand her portfolio for exhibitions (in the future). I was wondering if a point and shoot can shoot in raw AND at 10 mega pixels. I don’t see why it doesn’t exist… does it?

Plus, is it a bad idea to even get rid of the camera in the first place?

I know most major artists would say yes to that question, but I am a broke college student and I was thinking that when I have a decent job and I am financially secure, I can buy a DLSR again.

Just looking for some extra opinions on this.
