Bold ones are not compacts and italicized/underlined doesn't have manual exposure controls. Which leaves 3 travel zoom cameras, and the three are equally (almost) good. Pick the one you like...

Re: Suggestion needed for digi cam under 20k

My main priority is about IQ, VQ and low light performer with good image stabilizer.
I give less importance for size. So it can be prosumer or compact one but it should satisfy my requirements as mentioned earlier.

^ Then you can also consider FZ60, it does have better controls over video recording...

I second FZ-60.
It has very good low light image quality as per reviews and the excellent Leica lens, same as FZ150, best flash range along with HDR,panorama and all features.
What you don't get in RAW,articulated LCD and limited burst mode.

It is available around 17-18K..excellent value for money.
Otherwise you can consider HX200V at 20K odd.

I like the bridge cameras for better grip, more external controls, more zoom, better flash range and better battery life.

By reading review, comparison & suggestion, I came to know that few good models which suites my budget & requirements like fz60, sz20 & sx240. But each one having its own advantages and disadvantages.

Following are the main cons of individual.

FZ60 – No sharpness in HD videos, limitation in burst mode, no comments (no idea) about low light performance, but overall features seems good to choose.
SZ20- More noise at low ISO, Slow internal battery charging system but overall performance good
SX240- It struggled to focus in low light; VQ is a little choppy, below average battery life, But good IQ at day light
Over the above SX240 sample images in day light is better compared to other.
I need better low light performer, since most of my requirement is indoor shooting. If anyone send some sample images with same low light condition for three of them, it would be better to choose. Kindly suggest better one.

Main cons of HX20V (in review)
•Lots of detail smudging, even at ISO 100
•Only two apertures to choose from at any one time; no shutter or aperture priority modes
•Tends to underexpose; highlight clipping can be an issue at times
•No manual controls in movie mode
•Internal battery charger is slow, prevents you from charging a spare

can any one suggest me about performance of FZ150 & HX100V-Carl zeiss lens.

Kindly suggest which one is better among them, priority is low light performance and image quality.

which one is better Carl zeiss (HX100V) v/s Sony G lens (HX20V)

HX100V vs FZ150 vs FZ60 vs HX20V vs SX240HS

Do you find stock of those two cameras?
FZ150 is better between that two...

Since the first two are discontinued and can't find one in the market, I would say FZ60 as it does have better control over video recording.

NIKON COOLPIX L-810,is a nice one to go for it under your budget
Click to expand...

L810 has poor low light performance, now m looking for entry level slr with increasing my budget<28K.

By seeing some sample images, canon - 1100D images were sharper than D3100, but overall reviews/score votes for nikon.
Sony A37 seems better by specs and features can any one help me out to over come this conf...
