I like the SX720HS. I would like to get one.

Can it shoot DNG/RAW and run scripts?

CHDK doesn't currently support SX720HS. Some development was done, but the person working on it ran into problems and stopped. CHDK tools and digic 6 support have improved a lot since then, so it could probably be finished if by a motivated developer who had the camera.

The SX710HS is supported. AFAIK the main difference 30x (25–750mm) zoom rather than 40x (24–960mm) so you might consider that as an alternative if you find one cheap. They were ~$130 on Canon refurb, but aren't listed at the moment.
