how is Canon PowerShot A480?

 

[Cool G5]

Yes, go with Canon A480.

Go with Panasonic LZ10 ~ 6.2k on ebay after 500/- off coupon o else 6.7k..best in your budget.. check review on net. it has wide lances, HD format video recording, 5x optical zoom etc etc..

Sony W180. Comes with 4GB card included. 8.8k in some electronic malls.

In this price range I always recommend the Panasonic FS series. Get any of them except the FS4.

In short, Panasonic DMC-LZ8/10 are your best options.. and are also the ultimate winner in this price bracket.

Hope this would be helpful.

If I was given the choice between those two, I would still pick up LZ10, since its cheaper and has video recording at 848 x 640 pixels, and manual controls too.. though many people have bought from ebay, just look for Power sellers or good reputation ones, and check the warranty condition too..it should be manufacture warranty. always pay through PaisaPay, check everything including bills etc when you receive the item.

i purchased LZ 10 from ebya for 6888/- cam+ 2gb card ,pouch,battery and all accessories I selected 8gb pen drive from ebay,which i hope will receive soon

Picture quality is really nice,so far i use only auto mode.But frankly i was expecting something more from 10mp dedicated camera after using 3mp SE K790.Maybe thats because k790 has very good cam.

Guys tell me what is practical advantage of wide angle lens ?
