12.6 k is too much for sx160is.
Did u try 2 find this locally in u r city?
On ebay its min 11.4k, fine. Ask the seller if the product comes with original manufacturer waranty card? N is it deliverable 2 u r address. N always buy frm power seller when on ebay. U can get further discount if u hav icici or similar bank acc. Also u wud hav 2 get rechargeble batteries n charger.

No, I have not been to local dealers. I shall go today.

Powerseller on ebay- Price listed 11,500 after 7% ICICI discount- 10,695
Envie Power Charger + Eneloop 2100mah 4 batteries- 1,270 with shipping of 110, after 7% discount- 1,181
Sandisk Ultra SDHC 8Gb Class 10 Memory Card from Flipkart- 538
Total Camera + Accessories= 12414 and I will have an extra 4Gb Card + Carry Pouch

What say guys? Aur kuch better ho sakta hai?

Now when i fully made up my mind for canon sx160is, one of our member in another thread said, "features are the same except the improved autofocus and zoom from 12x to 16x, why put extra 3-4k, buy canon sx150is"

Damn, and i am confused again. I said i wont ask anyone again, but i am 'majboor' to ask this, "canon sx150is or canon sx160is"?

Thanks

^ you re getting more zoom for just 3k... SX160 is a better deal.... It is always good to have more zoom... especially while taking shots of birds, insects or shots with creamy blurred background/bokeh.

Click, What state are you? Still confused?

SX150 - You just wanna fiddle with manual exposure controls before upgrading to a DSLR. As far as controls is concern, both SX150 and SX160 are same.
SX160 - Since you have the budget for SX160, you can go for it. Better focal range, improved AF, battery life. I think it's worth that extra 3 grand.

Don't get confused. You will be OK with any of those two.

yaah once u get ur cam...you will have to learn a lot soo get any of them...get SX160 coz in P&S newer is sometimes better..

Okay people, I have bought a camera finally and after getting confused in various makes and models, finally i settled for Canon 1100D and bought it
Two main reasons were-
1- Budget
2- Lenses (my cousin brother has a canon 550d and 7d, and a range of canon lenses, which i could borrow from him when he is not using)

Ordered the camera with kit lens from ebay for 21,143 with the standard 18-55 IS kit lens and 2 years canon india warranty with a sandisk ultra 4gb class 6 sdhc card and canon EOS dslr carry bag.

I would like to thank all of u who posted in this thread especially, nac, sujoy, prashanth, im2k, anant
