If Olympus gets the IS system perfect like the Pentax and can do as good as Nikon/Pentax high ISO, then Oly will actually be the best cam.

Need to buy an external Flash

choices are

Metz 58 AF-1 (Rs 15,200)
(Metz - always first class. -)

nikon sb-800 AF speedlight(Rs 15,000)
(Nikon USA: SB-800 AF Speedlight)

feature wise the metz seems more feature rich
but dont how good it is in reality

prices are grey market (ie no bill/warranty)

Hi guys,
I plan on buying a digicam pretty soon, when i head to Dubai.
Wanted to know which one i should be looking at. I do like photography and mostly my topics of interest are limited to cars.

I am looking at some cam of about 5 MP and around Rs.15K in budget.
Suggest some brands i should consider and model name, possibly.

[Hellcat]

@benbsb29: This website will give you a lot of info.

@benbsb.. A Canon S3 IS would be your best best and it would be considerably cheaper than 15k now.
