Urgent Camera Buying Advise Required

[Whistler81]

Hello folks!

When it comes to buying something tech, i always come here for the best advise. Today i really need your help selecting a digital camera.

Firstly my budget is 6000/- or lower. (Reason: just wish to click friends & family photos for Facebook or memories don't want a bulky SLR, i know some photography enthusiasts might frown, sorry about that).

Secondly, I hate blurry images so suggest something that has anti blur or something. Sometimes when the subject moves their hand and it smudges the photo, i hate that.

Third, crisp and clear photos. I know with the budget i mention it might be hard to get.

Lastly a good battery and megapixel value.

Thanks in advance.

I was looking at the Nikon L31 on Flipkart what do you think about this camera ?
If there is an exceptionally great camera slightly above my budget do suggest that, i'll see if i can stretch my budget.

In your budget,
* All you can get is average to below average battery life.
* It will be a CCD sensor camera, it will be slow for sure.
* I don't how much you can stretch. If it's a little, you won't get "exceptionally great camera". You can very well stick with your current budget.

- Look for camera with a mechanical stabilization. Either sensor based or optical, BIG NO for digital or electronic only stabilization.
- If possible increase you budget to get a CMOS sensor camera.

L31 only have digital image stabilization. And all Nikon Lxx models don't have mechanical stabilization.

These models may be in your budget, check pricing.
IXUS 150/155
W830

And finally, check for sample images of the models you narrow down before purchasing.
