Re: Best point and shoot around $300?

If I were to buy a new point-and-shoot mostly for my wife today, the Canon SX720HS would be on the list to consider. When I'd be using it, at times I'd really miss the Sony DSC-HX80's viewfinder. But as you say, the Canon probably has somewhat better JPEGs, and many Canons can use CHDK firmware, which gives some pretty nice options (including DNG output). Historically I've thought Canon had the best basic digital point-and-shoots, although I'm less convinced of that today. But nothing has compelled me to replace the SX230 HS.
