I haven't seen any price slash since its launch for G15, G1x, S110. This is the first time they are slashing for these cameras. It's about two years for G1x and more than a year for other two. Given this price scenario, one have a choice to consider this camera along with the popular RX100. 
I am soo impressed by its quality and size

Lot of cameras getting/gonna be announced this week.
Canon N100 with a rear camera, is little new. Bigger sensor and good aperture range. Good
TZ60 seems impressive... VF, MF, RAW, 30x, lens ring... very impressive
but NO touch screen .
I don't know whether Canon SX600 is the successor of SX260/280... It's more like a cheaper version of the series. If it's the successor, then it will sure gonna sxxk big time, not because of TZ60's impressive feature but Canon have downgraded a lot. Too small aperture (the smallest I have ever seen for a non-weather sealed camera), zoom dropped, from digic 6 to a newer digic 4+ and doesn't seems to have manual exposure modes...

A new find...
I am using chdk for about 2yrs. This is the first time I am noticing this. I was shooting for bokeh photo project. I couldn't see the LCD as I was shooting outdoor in the middle of the day. Subject was getting overexposed, increasing the shutter speed leaves the background dark, so I thought of shooting in RAW and hoping that it would give little more flexibility when editing to get the details.
To get some decent bokeh from a compact, I was using all the zoom I could use, including digital zoom. The jpeg files are as I composed but the RAW files didn't use the digital zoom and covered more things in the frame than the jpeg i.e., jpeg was shot @ 240mm and RAW was shot @ 60mm (native focal length)

Left if RAW, right is jpeg. Both are same shot, untouched (just resized to post)

Nope, after cropping sharpness lost. As far as sharpness in concern no matter whether it's RAW or not, images loses its sharpness when cropping. But with digital zoom it has more details than the cropped image but it is little noisy. The one thing more evident from RAW is, better shadow details.
Here is side by side comparison. Left is RAW cropped, right is digital zoom used... Both the images are touched/enhanced. (original images are posted in the previous post)

someone please give me a quick review of Canon 600D. One of my friends is planning to buy it and the tech specs and flickr pics look pretty good. Any real world gyaan that I should know about it, or is there a better cam in the 30-35k range?

Well, I have a 600D and these are some of the the major differentiators in that price bracket (as far as I know). Some of these are Canon-specific, and not just 600D specific
* Built-in wireless flash commander (not just a trigger) which is great for someone who is willing to shell out for a compatible flash
* EOS Utilities is an extremely capable tethered shooting solution that comes free with the camera
* DPP is a very capable RAW developer that comes free with the camera (and gives great results), plus DLO too, I believe. Nice selection of free picture styles created by users. DPP has been described as the gift that keeps on giving, and I can see why
* More hardware buttons, matrix layout for the menu, and menu items active on highlight for very quick access to settings
* Separate Flash Exposure Compensation control
* Electronic First Curtain (though I guess other brands should also have this)
* Magic Lantern
The 'feature' that bugs me the most is using the in-built flash as autofocus assist in low light. I always wonder if it will trigger someone's epilepsy when it goes off.

Guys its time for me to sell off my trusted D3100+18-55 combo ...After lot of thinking I decided to get D7000 and not D7100
D7100 still cost almost 25k more and I could not justify that much price difference.
Soo basically I was asking you what price should I quote for my combo D3100+18-55 ...3yrs old and 28k (max is 100k)shutter counts ...in perfectly working condition ...New is 22k ...is 14k+shipping fine??
