As I recommended in another thread, go with Canon SX120 IS as you don't need a DSLR unless you plan to get serious with Photography. Whereas a point & shoot will be easier to use than a DSLR for your family members.

I recomended you Panasonic FZ35 because I 've used both the points and shoots 
some +Ve points of Fz35
1 .Shoots in Raw format ( a big +ve IMO )
2 Even takes polarizer ( wards off unneccesary reflections )
3 18 x Zoom
Even getting a point and shoot will only make you more addictive towards photography
Note : both the cameras will suck in dim light conditions or night photography.
you can pm me if you want more info regarding pns

@Stuge: the flowers one, the blurring is using the lense or pp? The blue-purple-yellow theme is wonderful. The sky looks strange in the panorama, but the orange growth is highlighted well.
@toofan: nice catch with that lizard. They usually scram when I go near em.

Go for sx120IS that way you will spend less and when you felt you developed as a photographer then you can go for costlier DSLR.
OR you can get a Nikon or Canon Entry level DSLR in range of 20k to 25k and this way you will be straight into the firing line.
Canon EOS 1000D with kit lens: Rs 22500.oo
Nikon D3000 with kit lens: Rs 22500.00
IMO you should go for a DSLR which is cheap and you will not have to upgrade very soon.

@toofan: thanks, was initially plannning for a DSLR but need something compact, will compromise a bit for now.....the only advantage that the SX200 has over the SX120 is high def video, can anyone tell me some more?

SX200 has a 12MP sensor compared to 10MP on SX120.
SX200 has 12x optical zoom as compared to 10x on SX120.
SX200 has fastest shutter speed of 1/3200 as compared to 1/2500 on SX120.
SX200 has a battery pack while SX120 has 2 AA batteries.

@izzikio rage : Dude IMO you shd save up and get an entry level dslr .Most preferably get Canon 1000D it has CMOS sensor .Whereas D3000 has CCD sensor .
in b/w canon has launched Canon SX210 (it has 14x zoom ) .
Regarding majordifference b/w SX120 and SX200 is SX120 isn't wide enough .SX120 is 36mm and SX200 is 28mm wide .
to understand the difference see this image

SX120IS without bill is around 12500.00
and 210IS will be above 22000.00
If you need quality then go for 210IS but I had used 200IS it has a maximum f stop of 3.5 where as 120 IS have 2.8.
200is had a panorama mode I liked that.
Quality and features are more in 210IS. It has lithium battery which is quick to charge. only will take 2 hours while AA batteries will take minimum of 11-12 hours and maximum of 30 hours. Depends upon the charger you buy.
If you have 20k then buy DSLR other wise you have no choice other then sx120IS.

thanks everyone.....will go for the sx120, the f stop values are something I really want to experiment with, the 25mm wide effect can probably be done by taking 2 images and joining them (hail photoshop) as for batteries will carry around an extra pair. 12x vs 10x and hidef video is something I can probably live without for the time being.
