Only the Sony W220 can compete with the FS5. But even that does not have widescreen videos which I feel is a letdown. Also note that this is a grey market price as the official price with bill & warranty for the W220 will be Rs.12k

I would ignore the Sony S series completely as picture quality is pathetic.

Any camera can take good outdoor pictures.
For indoor pictures, I suggest Fuji F60d & Nikon S620.
I would also consider the Canon Ixus 95.

FS5 is also good indoors but the others I mentioned will be slightly better with lesser noise, especially the Fuji because of its large sensor.

Note though that all the 3 other cameras I mentioned don't have wide angle for photos and are not that great for videos.

Stick with Sandisk SDHC 8GB. It won't make the camera slow. You can go for Class 6

Not too sure abt the latest prices. The prices u mention seem reasonable.
Suggest you buy the card from a physical store instead of ebay as there are lot of duplicates in circulation on ebay.

The price u mention on ebay is surely a grey market price.
You will get it officially with bill & manufacturer warranty for around Rs.8 - 8.5 k

Try this link:

Lesser the mm, wider the angle, so more area you can cover in a shot from the same distance.

so..everyone says that fs5 is not good for indoor pics...ill be taking mostly pictures of my family at home...so pls tell me a cam which is also grt for indoor use....

Do you want to take indoor pictures with flash or without flash?

With flash any camera will take decent pictures. Without flash most cameras will take less than decent pictures except a few like Fuji F200EXR and Nikon 620 which would be out of your range.

By the way if you want to see the benefit of wide angle, look at the illustration shown on top of this page:

Still cant fix the FS3....ok let me tell....actually i want a cam to take videos and pictures of for future ....so i dont want professional quality of course!!!! i have to take many photos and videos....so the thing which iam thinking is dat the videos from FS3 are so huge...right???so will i be able to take many videos???even if i convert to avi it wud be huge....right?? and also what about video size from other cams in dis range from canon and nikon which takes avi videos.....will deir size and the converrted avi's sizes be the same??? so shud i reconsider anything else in the range of FS3???

also...if i take videos in 640*480 or 320*240 will the videos be in avi format...whichever format it is , how much time video can i take in 2gb card at
1) 640*480
2) 320*240
