Dear friends,

I want to buy the cheapest Point & shoot available in market for gifting to my cousin. It should be branded not Chinese.

The one i found is canon's costing 3k or something. Is there any other options for me ?

I doubt whether you could get a cam which using Lion battery @3k. It will cost around 4k. (could get little below 4k).
Check these two models.
Olympus VG110
Fuji L30
