Hi everyone,
I want to purchase a camera urgently but i don't know which Company or Model I should go for. My budget is 10K~12K and I am looking for the best camera possible in this budget. It should have HD Video recording and good picture quality. I am going to purchase this cam today itself so please help.

Cheers,

killer is the word for this camera. Digic4 processor is faster than the earlier digic3. Its f number rating is also good. It can focus at an object placed as close as 1cm and that coupled with full manual controls will give you a feel of professional photography with a point and shoot. Manual shutter speed of 15seconds means you can take some awesome night shots and use your creativity to add effects like writing your own name or whatever you can think of doing with a small light within 15seconds. 12x optical zoom is nice to capture hard to reach subjects. It also records max 720p @30fps. I strongly recommend this camera.

Its simple...
W350 is a very small, sleek and pocketfriendly cam, U can put it in shirt pocket.
It have features like sweep panaroma

But it dont have manual controls, picture quality is poor then SX130IS and zoom is less then SX130IS

So if u want something u can carry like your mobile, take good pics and look stylish...get W350

else if u want to take great pics, learn photography with manual controls, want 12x zoom get SX130IS:mrgreen:

Thanks for your reply. I am newbie in photography and don't know the importance of Mega Pixels. So please tell me, should i look for more mega pixels or for more zoom?

And, what are the other features that i should look in a digital camera? How important is HD movie recording and panorama sweep shot? Are these features of any use?

Mega pixel is a marketing thing...nobody needs more then 8 megapixel...and more megapixel does not mean better pics
pic quality depends much upon sensor.
More zoom is good but for me more then 10x is not required..

Features which r imp-
1. Vibration reduction or Image stabilisation...some cameras have dual VR/IS
2. Manual mode....Good for learning photography
3. Mode dial...good for a quick change of settings(wont find this on most of the cams below 15k)
4. Video - for me 720p is enough coz 1080p will fill 1gb card in 1-4 mins.
5. Panaroma sweep shot is great but its just a attraction thing...not much useful in real world
