Hallo TomDart,

The only camera I have is a Nikon Coolpix S4 and I am VERY satisfied with it. Take a look at my gallery, all the pictures there are made with it.
It has a 10x Optical Zoom which is very good, and you can rotate the objective (or lens or whatever the word is) what allows you to take pictures from interesting angles.
6.0 Megapixel make sure the quality of the shot is very good and the camera has several different modes you can choose from.
I'm afraid I don't know, what you mean by "capturing RAW". If you mean that you don't want to rework or machine finish (man, so many difficult words!) a picture then I can assure you that you don't have to with this camera.
The only bad thing about it is, that it is pretty big, so nothing for the trouser pocket.
The camera uses batteries and no accumulator.

As I said I am very happy with my camera AND it has an absolutely reasonable price, really not expensive (at least when I bought it in Germany..).

I hope I could help! Good luck with the decision!

Katja
