Best camera for manual controls and great picture quality well under Rs.10000

[hari.vgl]

I want a new camera for use at home..when going out somewhere and such similar needs...also i want to experiment with manual controls..like if there are 3 objects at 3 depths then being able to focus on any one...picture quality should be really good..depth of picture will also be appreciated..like if i can take bokeh shots occasionally...good shutter times..that is..speed will also be great....apart from casual photos..i also would often take photos which have to can convey a 1000 words.. ...i mean...the spirit of some occasion..an early morning shot..or a person's expression...etc...i hope you get it...i dont want huge sized prints..maybe it will jus tbe for online purposes like facebook and preserving moments... I had looked at the finepix s2950..but i cant decide..please help...

Friend of mine bought a Finepix S2950 along with free tripod for some 9.5k somewhere in Bangalore. I never got a look at it though. You sure it has manual focus? Most P&S cams don't.

just get canon sx130IS eyes closed...none of the cheap cams beat that in manual controls

Can you manually set stuff like Aperture and use integers (like 156) for ISO ?

Aperture in f-stops yes, check specs it should be of 1/2 or 1/3 f-stop that canon would have allowed.
ISO - No user defined integers - only the preset values 80,100... 1600..

ooh I missed to answer this...

if u use aperture priority then u can set aperture and shutter speed will change automatically and its inverse is shutter priority

in manual mode u can set all manually...soo u see its just like slr settings...
