Advice on buying digital cameras

hey guys,

here are my requirements :

4-5 MP
3x or above Optical Zoom
Flash
Viewfinder
TV Out
Movies - Unlimited length,decent fps (30 preferable) and resolution (640x480 preferable) and with sound
2xAA batteries (compatible with any rechargeable NiMH batteries
2 inch LCD or above (can do with 1.8 if viewfinder also available)
Decent inbuilt memory - 32 mb will do + memory card slot

Budget = less than 15K

can you suggest any models plz ?

look at canon a350

Nikon Coolpix 5200 best matches to u - I donno exact price
Next u can opt Sony W5 - 10500/-

None of the digital cameras will give the facility to record unlimited length of video. Most of the cameras come with 32 mb which is hardly sufficient to record about 3 minutes of video. For recording video and taking more photos you have to shell out Rs.5000/- for a 1gb card.

you are right

but i was talking about the minimum length of the video clips that the camera will let me record
i have come across some cameras which will record only 3 min clips regardless of memory capacity
i am planning to buy 1 gb card along with camera.

Thanks,
Vishal

pls pls dont go for AA or AAA batteris they suck ... Rechargale Li-ion batteries rocks ..

if u r going for AA battery powered camera, than make sure u buy rechargable NiMh batt with charger 2300mah, it will cost around 1400/-.
insist on buying canon or nikon cameras.
