i refer you "sony H10" camera. it is very good camera actually a mini dslr. it has 10x optical zoom and can support 8gb of external memory. it has li-on battery which has the backup of upto 3hrs. also 3" lcd to view the photos. in extras it can show the output on TV directly and it is HD ready. i am using it since diwali of 2008. But you have to increase your budget little. It is the best value for money.

Canon A590 IS ... Go for it, you won't regret.
Also why not Canon? They are one of the best in the industry

Canon is also good but there is one major problem. There are less service centres than sony in delhi it is located in Gurgaon and a collection point which is in okhla and no other service centres other than this. also it has only 1 year WARRANTY. on the other hand sony has 3 year WARRANTY and service centres of sony are in good numbers. Just because i am giving suggestin for sony.

Sony also has one major problem, it support only micro pro duo memory stick which is nt available easily like sd and microsd.

^ canon offers 2years warranty...

and yes,

memory sticks are less widely available and more costly..

Man get a 2gb memory card for Sony...no need of anything else...
I am sure ur battery will drain off before filling that 2gb.

u can keep 1 spare...if u think u will keep 400-500 shots in memory card..

I again wanna tell u that sony's digicams have less picture size .
I get 8mp pics only at 2.5-3.5 mb with my T100...I have heard that other company require 4-5 mb per pics

^ The less image size contributes to heavy compression. Alas I even find 2 GB card too small, maybe I am a too much of an addict. I am planning to get a 16 GB one.

Also it maybe that in your Sony's camera you have kept the Widescreen option turned on, so the image size is small. Turn it off & it too will rise up to around 3-4MB.

But image clarity is still good...
And no my cam take widescreen pic at 2mp only and 8mp pic at its normal resolution...soo the size is genuinely small in Sony.

i recently purchase 4gb card now i think it is complete for all my needs. it can store more than 1200 images with 8M quality.

as cool g5 has written, small image size means more compression.
yesterday i came across nikon coolpix s550 whose 10mp image's size is 1.5mb averagely. OK, it looks normal -but only to eyes. when u print it, then u will see what have you lost. one can say 'who always wants print' but who knows when you need to print a memorable pic. in addition, if u wanna laminate 1 to bigger size, then.......god knows what a 8mp-pic of-2mb will turn out !!!!

what I have experienced..
7mp canon's pic is averagely 2.5-3mb
7mp sony is 1.5-2mb

I prefer always to have options.

AND If anybody wants desperately to keep a thousand pic in memory card, i will suggest better click images in 5mp which is sufficient.

 

[girish.g]

what about sony w120 and w150??i thought they were pretty awesome

OK...I agree somewhat...Actually I never printed a single pic from my Sony Cam in last 2 years...but again 8mp pics r BIGG...I think 8x10 pic will look normal..isnt it????

Can u tell me the size of RAW pics taken by DSLR??

One can clearly notice the compression artifacts in the second one. There are some in the first one too, but difficult to notice due to light in the first one.

Which one of the following cameras would you suggest:
1. Canon Ixus 80
2. Sony W220
3. Panasonic Lumix TZ11

Instead of the above, go for Fuji Film-FinePix S700 / Canon A590 IS / Canon SX 110 IS.
