Can someone suggest which one to be picked.

Thanks and Regards,

Hey Guys, any suggetions? I have a new enterants into this list. Now the choice is between
1. Nikon D3100
2. Sony NEX3 or 5
3. Nikon P100
4. Canon SX30IS

I will be staying away from the Panasonic and Fuji's. I personally liked the Fuji HS10 and its features, however they are out of contention.

All though each of them have a varied pros and cons, I am getting more inclined towards the Canon SX30IS.

@singhBHP, what is the price of Nikon D3100 in delhi. I checked out few shops here in Bangalore, none of them have it.

Thanks
Deepak

Any idea when the Panasonic DMC-LX5 will be available in India and at what price? And the same question about Canon S95. When is it likely to be available here?

Bought a Tripod - Sony VCT-R100 for my new SX 20 IS from Vivilash camera's, Banjara Hills (beside Chutneys). Costed me 1450 (With bill). Min height is 1'1" and max 2'8.5". Initially, I didnt think a Tripod was needed for a P&S but realized that the panaromic shots would require a Tripod to align accurately to the field. I liked the metallic finish and the bag that came along with it. See pics below:

Not out yet. The dealer i regularly (V.G. Chimalgi, hyderabad) go to tells me it should be out late November. Flash camera this, for sure!

I am planning to buy a compact digicam for my father in the range 10-15k. I am looking for good optical zoom with equally good image stabilization capability. As he will be only interested in P&S, manual features are not required. If possible, tell me where can I buy your suggested camera in Bengaluru.

Looking forward for suggestions from BHPians... Thanks in advance.
