I was thinking of buying a digital camera as cheap as possible
The only reason for this although I am satisfied by my N73 phone camera I want a camera which can do HD video recording and most important shoot RAW files as I am really impressed by this format
My budget is nearly 5k
i know it is not possible in this budget so I was considering the CHDK
I wanted to know cameras in this range if they support RAW format natively or please suggest good canon cameras supporting the CHDK

A800 is the cheapest but doesn't shoot HD video
A1200/2200/2300/2400 shoots HD video but no CHDK
A3300 shoots HD and CHDK available but it's not under your budget.

A3200 is pretty good for 5.8k Buy Canon PowerShot A3200 (Silver) Digital Camera at Best Price in India - Also find Specifications, Photos, Features & Reviews
Nearly same specs as A3300. I've used it for a short period of time... You can see some shots here Canon A3200 - a set on Flickr
