Good camera for taking pics. of doodles??

[Photography Group]

Hi everyone.I would like some advice on point and shoot cameras.No cameras with RAW.As all i think about when I hear the word raw is about raw meat.lol.I Just want one that takes good pics. in auto mode.For around 300 dollars canadian.I bought a pentax optio RZ10 and i am taking it back.No detail at all in the pics.The fur on my doodle just blends together with no defination.I dont need a travel zoom either.I only need 5x zoom at the most.I was wondering about the Cannon Powershot SD4000 is.Does anyone here have one or know if they are okay for what i need a camera for.Mostly dog pics.I was also wondering about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5.I know it has alot of zoom but if i can get a good camera and it happens to have 10x zoom or more thats okay too.I just need a camera that takes good pics. in Auto.Thanks in advance.

We have an Olympus Fe and it works very well. It is only around 100-120 dollars and it's a great quality point and shoot.

I also think the Canon Powershot is a great camera, it seems to me like it's one of the highest quality point and shoot cameras you can get.

I posted in your comments, but I have a Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS and I love it!

I have an old Canon Digital Elph and it is a very good camera. I'm sure the newer ones are even better.
