Its time for me to get a new camera and I have narrowed down to these cameras.

Sony H3
Olympus 550

So the budget is around 18k. Cant stretch a penny beyond that. So, do tell me which camera to buy.

H3 should be a better choice. See the detailed review of both with sample images from www.dpreview.com
SONY H3: *www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydsch3/
Olympus SP-550UZ: *www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympussp550uz/

Fo this pice,IMHO 550 is not a good option,look out for H3 or for 560 as i don think there is a much price diference in 550 and 560.But 560 has got some major improvements over 550.

buddy...sony DSC H5 is available for 17 k and H9 is available for 21k...so h3 might not be a good choice now

on the other hand some other worthy competitors..
kodak Z712IS
CANON S5IS

+1 for the Canon S5IS! Would be a great buy.
