Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hi Guys. I need a new digital camera. Budget is Strictly 15000. Don't need anything big or DSLRs. Need something which can click great photos and is easy to carry around. Even in the pocket if possible. I asked a friend and he recommended me [FONT="]either the Canon Digital IXUS 100IS or the Nikon Coolpix S60. Which one would be better or any other better than these? [/FONT] |

| ![]() Abhinav ji, will certainly recommend you to take a Look at nearest SONY Showroom. with this budget, you can get a Good Sony Digital Cam. I think Sony is one of the best options for Low Budget but nice pics, may be this is my own reading after using Canon and Sony Extensively for personal use. I think there's a Decent touch screen option too in sony under 15k. |

Got one for $269 plus 4 GB card free. Extremely happy with the purchase. Shot a few test photos before handing over to parents. Everything seems OK. Model is made in Japan ![]() Man ! That 25mm wide angle seems so much wider than 18mm (28mm EFL) on my XSi ![]() Only grouse from my point of view is there is no full manual mode. But parents are happy with it. So it doesnt matter. Planning to add extra battery for $25.99. Last edited by abhijitaparadh : 2nd July 2009 at 06:00. | |

When zoomed in even the shake introduced by pressing the shutter button will effect sharpness, so try to use self timer and then see if there is any difference. |

1. Panasonic brand shop offered to get one for me(They do not have it in stock) If I paid an advance. MSRP is 32,990 and they offered a 2000 discount. This comes with a 3 yr warranty. 2. ebay.in has some imported pieces for 26,200(Used to be 27,500 until last week..guess no one picked them) with 1 year dealer warranty. thought the difference is worth it as even if it breaks, the repair would probably not cost more than 3/4k.But it has been a week after I ordered and he still has not shipped it(He called yesterday and said it would be shipped out today). I did call most of the reputed sellers in Kochi, Bangalore and Chennai and no one carried it. I checked in Dubai and Kuwait and no one had it. If you are from Mumbai ro Delhi, I guess you should be able to find it from one of the grey market, but you are not likely to get anythign from the authorized retailers except Panasonic Brand shops... | |

If the autofocus works from feedback on sensor, then this should not be an issue at all. unless the lens is just not able to get the perfect focus. | |

P.S. I would also like to have 720p or similar recording if possible. And also how is the Sony T900 Digital Camera? Though its out of budget but is it worth it? It looks really slim and can do 720p recording too. Last edited by Technocrat : 2nd July 2009 at 20:07. | |

I think the best option is Canon SX110 IS...10X optical zoom and a brilliant camera. for 14.5K you will get it with Warranty for two years from canon Rajeev | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I saw this on the net. Canon PowerShot SX200IS I asked a friend and he said that's its good. Needed to know if someone has experience in it. I'm getting it for around 22000 + around 500-700 for the 8 Gb Card Upgrade. Is the price worth it? |

Never seen or used it, but as per July issue of "Better Photography", its optical quality is not up to the mark and cost is high and they suggest to look at other options in Canon's own range of digital compacts. |

| ![]() The only issue I saw with the SX200 was the silly pop up flash. Sometimes it refused to sit back down. |
