he he ....I know ...the main reason everyone goes for sony is that the support network is good and everyone they know has a sony ...so it seems like a tried and trusted brand.....

But one good point for sony (I have the W150) the performance at high ISO settings ie upto ISO 400 is better than that of the canon cameras (SX100). and the auto mode beats the auto of canon hands down....

I guess it is coming down to the SX110 .....

Panasonic TZ5 and sx110 are good. I like the TZ5 more.. <amazon link> I think you can buy that also.. Check out the reviews and they both are good.. cannon as brand is more popular but panasonic is giving big competition check out this *www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q408enthusiastgroup/
These two cameras are so close in performance that choosing between them becomes a matter of personal taste and preference. The TZ5 is our favorite because it offers a proper wideangle, a better screen and slightly better high ISO performance, but the SX110 has better manual control and considerably more telephoto pulling power. They're both well priced, well designed and genuinely pocketable, and neither demands too much of an image quality compromise despite squeezing 10x zooms into their diminutive bodies.

We almost gave this to the Panasonic (the extra wideangle makes it much more versatile than the extra tele does for the SX110), but that would be to suggest that our personal priorities were the same as everyone else's, and if you're on the touch line trying to snap your kids playing soccer the Canon's extra reach will prove invaluable. It is worth mentioning, however, that the Panasonic is slightly cheaper, has a metal body and is noticeably smaller too.

and Panasonic TZ5 is 28mm wide angle.. support HD 720p Video recording... its way better than cannon x110 :idea:

@izzikio_rage
this is point and shoot and if you need manual control look for superzoom or ultrazoom. like sd8100fd/565uz/fz28k/x10is/p80

Min Exposure : 60seconds
15sec exposure its long.. if you want to experiment why are you taking the point and shoot then try superzoom

:D seems like you do, anyways you are welcome dude..

try what is the price in india, but it will be over that price.
I think its better if you order it online and get it delivered in india. but amazon doesnt ship electronics items to india, there must be a site that ships to india, try to search a little maybe you find something. or ask someother people.
I got my Panasonic from a friend, ordered through amazon and delivered to his address in NYC.

What you talking man.. how can that be possible..
seems like you not looking for it properly or dont want to.
have you gone to a single dealer urself.. if u want a good thing just try harder
if the you arenot able to find the stuff it in the nearby store. just contact the panasonic ask for it. or buy it from outside india, or order online.. simple
sony n cannon are easily availble that why that sells more.. doesnt mean thats always the best. infact sony is the most overrated brand in india. go to japan or us no one gives them a ****.
and
I guess you stil not reading properly...dude read.....!!! >>

2. Panasonic website.. *www.panasonic.co.in
check for dealer in the area or just contact them and ask the availability

3. try to find the online store that delivers to india, or an indian site like, indiaplaza.in, ndtvshopping, futurebazar, rediff, sify, etc.. or ebay.in and ebay.com

4. buy online.. thats is the cheaper these days.. I wish we get amazon in india soon i wont have to go to stores anymore :razz:

Actually Panasonic cameras are comparatively hard to find in Mumbai also. Most of the retailers and multi brand stores do not stock Panasonic.
In fact Panasonic does not have a single 'brand shop' in Mumbai. There are Panasonic brand shops in the smallest of towns in India but not in Mumbai. Hence I was pleasantly surprised to find this shop near VT which stocked all the Panasonic cameras and I could also try them out. They are authorised Panasonic retailers.

I tried out the TZ5, FX36 and the FX520. Also saw the new Panasonic TZ7... was priced at Rs.24k !!!

I will be going there again this coming week so let me know if you want me to check out anything.

Ok. I will check it out. Some of these things can be found on Panasonic website. Rest.. I will check.

As regards the size, its bigger than a ordinary point & shoot. It would fit in a jeans pocket but there will be a big bulge :)
