1.)Is it necessary to buy one another set of Battery or Charger?
2.)How long it takes to have a Complete Charge?
3.)And need detail about Memory Card... Is that free card is enough to regular usage?
If so where can we get all at best price? Suggest a good brand and value for money..Cheap and Best products..
If no need and all then pls suggest how to use all efficiently..

Hi dudes.. First-of-all I would like to thank marvel and sujoyp as the same asking Sorry to them.. You people suggested more on FZ47 but I am impressed with SX240HS image quality and made an order now on Canon SX240HS..However,all your valuable suggestions and guidance are really useful to know much about camera and its purchase.. I badly oscillated between Hardware spec of Panny and Output performance of Canon..Atlast I decide to go with Sx240hs after seeing prashanth photography page..Once again I am sorry to my dear Sujoyp and marvel becoz they badly suggested on FZ47 and also patiently answered some of my silly questions too. And equally I am thanking NAC who suggested SX240HS... also thanking to Angel,Blackpearl who participated in this mix with their timely and good suggestions... I expect the support from all in future on knowledge sharing& etc., My little dream comes true today...I am happy today. Cheers!!!

Congrats and happy clicking. Even I am in process of ordering a camera but not as expensive as your s :p I am going in for a Canon Sx160IS. BTW, from where did u order ur cam? You must have tested the panasonic before ordering the canon, did it lose focus while zooming in and out while shooting a video?

Thanks

1. No need of extra battery for SX240 ...but if u r planning video the battery gets over pretty fast...then u may have to get another.
2. The owners may suggest u.
3. get a sandisk ultra 8GB and it will be enough for long time....it can carry 1000 shots thats enough for a cam.

Ok dude.. how much sandisk ultra 8gb cost up?

Hi Click..from ebay i oredered in deal...In video Panasonic outperform canon..i seen video test of panny but its good in AF even its upto certain leve..Moreover i seen ur thread now only..u too had a confusion between sx240/fz47...I like to say y i chose canon..It tooks more than half-a-month to decide Canon SX240 after a some analysis but still i am feeling that I something missed from Panasonic i.e EVF,Extra Flash,Design and Look,Excellent Video Quality and its Control,Rapid AF,Great Aperture.. but why i chose SX240hs is..I personally ask a question to myself that what is the basic purpose to hold a camera..? and i myself answered.. To click a Good Picture..
But i surf many websites and downloaded some pictures of both..& not even a single picture of panny outperform/match with canon in any case..
More noise in panny and lesser image quality.. &even i tried some simple post processing work of panny's image to get canon's pic.quality.. but im not satisfied with it &if i process the sx240 image it reached best one..
Beyond that all the reviews quoted that to forget Low Light Snaps in Panasonic..
& Without Raynox No Macro of Panny produce good images...
Flickr helped a lot..
Anyhow...SX160Is too nice cam.. Good Video,Better AF..but i feel u can go for SX150 hs itself ,if its learning purpose..in ebay.in now Rs7300 only/...Great price..and i feel for offering extra Rs.4000..features are not matched.. But if u love that camera pick it...Enjoy clicking..Also check whether Diwali Gift Offer is Valid Today in ebay?? I think its ended with yesterday but however u just check with it becoz in one ad i seen it valid till nov20...Make something fast..

Donno y it needs reynox for macro...it can capture macro from 0mm :D
Actually when deciding for DSLR we tend to think of all the things which are good in panasonic fz47 like good grip,better aperture,more buttons ....only if fz47 had a RAW option...I would have suggested it more :)

Sandisk ultra 8 GB may cost around 500....or check the price of 8 GB extreme one too...if price difference is very less get extreme...else Ultra is sufficient

I read that zoom and shutter speed equation setting i.e 600mm zoom means then 1/600sec shutter speed which quoted in the very older post of Sujouyp...
As like.. Is there any good standard rules to be follow ?
Any good websites for learning photography for I st time camera users/beginners?

Also any sx240hs owners answer please for how many hours sx240hs takes to have a complete charge?

@titlingkm yes that shutter speed vs zoom range equation is true....at higher zoom u need faster shutter speed to take steady shots... although stabilisation works in most superzooms....but still at full zoom u can not go below 1/200 shutter speed to get good shots....

U have to study these things online...these is no single point...one thing you can do is download The Digital Photography Book by scott kelbey 3 PDF and read them...they r super simple and enjoyble...

I never minded much about this... It seems to be people are inclined towards Sandisk, I think. What gear do you have? If you shoot RAW or videos, better buy higher rated memory card else, Class 4 is suffice IMO.

I would be ordering Canon SX160IS today. In the bundle i am getting 4gb SD card and a pouch. So i think it would be necessary to get a higher memory card. So i was just confused between 8gb class 10 transcend and sandisk. Transcend is cheaper, but i ve read that majority of them prefer sandisk over transcend. I am not a video guy. Would be clicking images.

Canon recommends class 4 for SX130, and they bundled it. And class 6 for SX150/SX160 so they will bundle class 6, I think. I am sure it's pretty much ok for clicking jpegs.
