Sony is good, but again it has proprietary memory cards (Memory Pro) that are not compatible with other cameras and are expensive. On the other hand Nikon & Canon use SD cards which are cheaper compared to Memoary Pro.

For your budget I suggest Nikon Coolpix 5600. 5 MP, 3X optical & 4X digital zoom, 14MB internal memory and works. I have one and I am very happy with it.

I'm also in a fix. Want to buy a cam, either Nikon, Sony or Canon. Don't know what to do. Price range 15k-20k. I hear the Sony P200 is a good cam. And so is the Nikon 5900. What to do?

Nikon & Sony both are good brands for Digital still camera. But I personally suggest u to go for sony. SONY DSP P200 Gives a superb performance. It cost around 17K. In 15K u can go for SONY W5.

Call me brand loyal, but I suggest Nikon 5600/5900 as I have hands on with it. The best option would be to ask your friend/relative travelling abroad to get a Canon Powershot L2IS (the one used by Maria in Powershot ad). Its awesome with 5MP & 12X optical zoom. In Japan its around 19k. My mate has already bought it. Cant wait till he comes back in March. :twisted:
