Sorry for the self-promotion but I am very happy to report that I just picked up the first ribbon for the RX100 series!
It's my personal challenge to try and ribbon with each of my cameras...especially P&S (since it's more of a challenge)(of course, I still haven't managed to ribbon with my 1 year old D600 and D7100.)
Here's mine so far...feel free to post yours here too!
Panasonic TZ-3 (pocket compact w/10x zoom and tiny sensor) Yellow Ribbon in 2008:
Even older, my Canon Powershot S1, a Yellow ribbon for Lifeline in 2005:
I note that there's another ribbon on that camera page, taking the top spot with a 6.98 score, congrats to  pacpinto on that!
My other cameras:
My LX5, oops, I guess I sold that before ribboning (just after I bought the RX100) But I sold it to Bear_Music and he's done well with it--two ribbons!
For the FZ200, which is pretty new, has a single entry, but I'm very unlikely to win any ribbons with it (mainly because I've bought a few new cameras and I think I'm ready to sell it.)
Though maybe before selling those two, I should see if I can ribbon with them. Probably not since this weeks ribbon was the first for me in 15 months or so...it's obviously not easy for me and I rarely go out to shoot for a challenge topic. It's just one of my own, weird, personal challenges.)
Anyway, perhaps others want to post their accomplishments with their P&S cameras here!

Nice idea. Here's mine.
Canon Powershot G11:
Lost the G11 several years ago and replaced it with a Powershot S90. I haven't managed to pull any ribbons with the S90 yet, though I have had some high scoring entries with it.

I've never ribboned with the Lumix LX-3, which is mostly Penny's camera, but I've done well with the LX-5, which is mostly mine.
 
Those are also the two high scores for that camera. In a final note of irony, I bought it from Neil...
I don't use the little Sony for challenges, I may have done once long ago, but it's Penny's anyway, I haven't seen it in a while.

Not really point and shoot but I'm happy that I ribboned with my iphone 3gs in a non iphone challenge.

I'm tempted to say OF COURSE the phone cam qualifies as a P&S....
Which reminds me: I ribboned with my sister's iPhone 4s, though that was in a Camera Phone challenge:

I've gotten a few.
My proudest was scoring a red with a $10 used Canon S10
Got a blue one with the S95
And I don't really know if my X100s can be called a P&S, but for the most part its about the most point and shoot of anything I've ever owned, and I've gotten one red so far with it.

| Interesting thread. Neil, are you satisfied with the RX100? Just had a look at it in a store yesterday, I loved the build and weight, I'm not sure though about the ring/wheel on such a tiny camera. They are still quite pricey here in Europe. |

I suspect the X100s doesn't quite fit most folk's definition of a P&S. But, I have gotten a couple recent ribbons with it.
Other than that, the best I claim is a fourth with an iPhone shot in a non-phone challenge.

| The only goal of my 2014 is to get a TT with my Go Pro camera - does it count as a P&S? |

I'd say it is more of a P&S than any of the previously listed models. I don't consider anything that shoots RAW to truly be a point & shoot. I consider them compacts, but around here they get considered a P&S.

Blue Ribbon --> 
with a Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z2.
Also a 4th place with the Z2.
Another HM (5th place) with the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3.
More recently had a HM (5th place) with the Nikon Coolpix P7100. I'd love to ribbon with this camera. :-) |
