Best digital camera under 10000 INR

K

I want to buy a camera within
10k but as i am a totally noob
about cameras i cant decide
between models, so your help will
be appreciated..
Its main purpose will be Full HD
recording, Good image stability
(while recording videos), Crisp
images, Good low light capturing
etc.. other technical specifications
are unknown to me [like ISO(i dont
know what is that),Sensor, shutter
speed, etc..]
Please guide me through this..
Thanks in advance!!

Nikon S6500 is an option

Also if you could tell your requirements it would be easy to help....Like what would you be sooting more, how much zoom you want, manual or only automatic controls required etc etc

Thanks for replying kaz,
its main use will be shooting in low light, sceneries, panoramas(optional) etc.
and regarding zoom, it may be 16x or 32x. But full HD video recording is a must..

Another thing i wanted to know that is canon ixus 255HS any good?
Please reply ASAP

thanks for replying once again.
i went to local stores in bangalore today but i couldnt find ixus255/265 anywhere.. but instead i got
two others models that i shortlisted earlier i.e. nikon s6500 and sony dscwx-80..
now i am confused between these two.. so please tell me which one of these two would be better and value for money
thanks once again
.!!

Both are almost the same...Some difference though:
S6500 has a bigger and better screen 3" vs 2.7", more zoom 12x vs 8x
But WX80 on the other hand is slimmer, lighter and has more battery life 240shots vs 150shots...

I think S6500 is a better camera and Image Quality is better in low light as well

K

ok... will go for the s6500 one..

Thanks for your suggestion..

My vote is for
Nikon S6500

Before buying a digital camera, doing a basic research is essential. There are some great review websites around that give expert and user reviews on every camera in the market.

For 10k, you will not get a quality one. Checkout the best retailers providing discounts and offers for the product you are going to buy. One way to save yourself some cash is with the accessories. If you have accessories of your previous digital cameras that are compatible with your new one, you can use it.

One month before, I have relocated from mumbai to hyderabad. I'm really new to that city. I was in need of purchasing home appliances and other stuffs for my home. I browsed google and found this online shopping site in hyderabad.

best camera we've found for under $200 is the Canon 340 HS.

If you are ok with online purchase then you can get IXUS 265HS at Amazon:

This camera is also on my wishlist too

My recommendation, balancing a good, sharp lens with good zoom and reasonable image quality (don't expect miracles), go for the Olympus SZ-14, or Samsung ST200F/WB30F. These will provide a good balance of features vs. image quality for the price range. Nikon S6500 is a good option and has a CMOS sensor as compared to the other 2 cameras I have mentioned, but the other two have nifty features (Samsung) and a better lens (Olympus).

P.S. The Olympus SZ-14 model allows you to take microscopic shots (for real) . If you ever enjoyed looking at cheek cells in biology lab, here's your second chance to do it! See the review below:

Budget Camera Review - it's not what you spend, it's what you buy.

The tele macro abilities of the SZ-14 / SZ-12 cameras make super macros irrelevant and it is well known in professional photography that a true macro lens does not need to be within an inch of a subject to bring it in close, a good macro lens will allow you to photograph a tiny subject from a distance which will allow you to keep light on your subject. However, this level of detail - the ability to photograph living cells and micro organisms from feet away is something not seen before in a consumer level camera.

I am unaware of any other camera in this price range that will allow such capabilities. That alone should give this camera an edge over others.

Get Panasonic (Edit) TZ 25/30. Its still the very best.

But, it has been discontinued

Also budget is 10k

What I meant was Panasonic lumix tz25 & the most popular bridge camera Panasonic lumix fz150 share same sensor.

Tz 25 is very good camera for the price of 8950.

TZ25 is still available despite the newer TZ 30. He won't go wrong with either.

Yes I meant the TZ25/30.

If wifi, gps & touch screen not required tz25 is best. Btw tz 30 nowhere to be seen online & tz25 is only on f/k, snapdeal & amazon.
I had read few year back on international sites that in terms of image quality tz 25 is slightly above tz30. Moreover initial firmware of tz30 was buggy for GPS not sure if its solved in updated firmware.

Tz 40 which is said to be best ever tz series camera is also out in India around 22-23k while tz 60 has made its presence in international market.
Last few stock of tz25 remaining as its launched 2yrs back.

Its such a pity that Panasonic are not able to market them well in India, hardly any offline presence except few reputed camera marketplaces.

Btw tz25 & tz30 are launched at the same time. Tz 30 with higher pixel count, wifi & GPS.

TZ30 is available in Snapdeal but way overpriced. Its better to get it from Flipkart though right now its outta stock.
