friends.. please help me out...

i need the camera for occasional family function and tours.. i am not much into photography.. the thing matters to me is image quality...

also while going through earlier threads.. it seems that sx130IS has battery problem... is it worth buying if i purchase the extra set of NiMH btteries...

by budget is around 15k

yaah SX130IS is the best among them for learning photography and its pic quality is also amazing...but its bigg and uses pencil cells/rechargable...

I saw some forum members very satisfied with sony H55 so u can always consider it.

If u can wait a bit wait for Canon SX220IS. I find it very good...it got all the features and its pocketable

It is already available in market and is priced around 20K which is quite high according me
