I had to buy a digiCam.

[toofan]

@Kpower_mania thanks to you too for your suggestions. nicon D40x is the best camera but its very very high priced and out of my budget and also it will not be easy to use ,by other family members.


@imgame2
Yes these online prices are t confusing. And the street price funda is lot risky. I thought Nicon's price quoted by kpower_mainac authorised one. I will buy the selected cam form delhi as my younger brother lives there. He is an engineer in Moser Bare.
But I too will have to go there one day earlier to do the markert survey.
I am narrowing close on Canon's sx100IS as it will be in my budget. And if its cheaper the saved money can be used to buy a memory card of higher capacity.

And according to my ideals about life, buying without bill is something like buying a smuggled piece and I can't cheat my country for just few thousands. I willing to pay the tax to government.

And this time digit showed the camera shoot out but didnot included the sony's cameras in their shoot out. I can't understand the reason behind it. Also I am not seeing any ads from sony in digit magazine. Is this the reason?

yus thus, go for SX 100 IS

[Cool G5]

The Canon SX 100 IS supports SD and SDHC memory cards, so 8GB should be supported.

You get the following accessories with the camera :

# 16MB SD Memory Card It's not a typo, it's MB what was Canon thinking. Cutting costs??

# Hand Strap

# Mini USB Cable

# TV out Cable

# Software CD-ROM

Let see!.

What will be the cost of memory card these days as it will seriously be required with camera. and which one to buy. SX100 IS seems to support a lot of them.

@ingame2, D40x and D40(around 25K) are two models, and D40x came almost around 32K (46.6 I think being real price, this is one of very old models from Nikon and has been discontinued as per my knowledge) has been replaced by D60 which is aroun 30-32K. And if you are thinking to spend 45K then Canon E450D kit.
And in 30K range if you do not want a SLR then there is Cannon Powershot G9

Canon A650 Powershot, Canon Ixux 850/860/870 and Sx 100 Powershot are good cameras, all being of different price and having different resolution, and all being very good. A650 is 12.1MPx camera

With any new news or something helpful you know please inform.

 

[acewin]

just for your info the highest rated camera has already got new model FZ18 has been long replaced by FZ50K, but even then if you get FZ18 its price would be sub 15K and its best camera and has best zoom, both the Panasonic cameras are sure very high rated, among people who like good zoom character and good features.

[Cool G5]

If you plan to take pics of chicks then make sure your camera has a good amount of optical zoom

Here Canon SX 100 IS rocks with it's 10x Optical zoom

LoL

so since u own this cam we can expect picks of chicks from u ...right ???

 

[Cool G5]

^^ Ha Ha

We(My friends & me) do had taken such pics, just for testing the zoom & nothing else. We deleted them, as we don't need them.

 

[acewin]

panasonic FZ50 is another of big zoom, but noone can beat zooming options in a SLR like EOS40D or 50D, nikon counterpart of them is D80

 

[toofan]

SLR will need extra zooming lenses to do it. Hence they had more superior zoom quality.

Is there only two choices to make SX100IS and A720IS.
