surch the forum topic by digital camera, you will find many suggestions.
My sugg. is just go for sx 100is - it is a awsome thing - 10x zoom isn't ok for u ?? with multiple features & easy using for amatures.

What's your budget?
Specify your requirements- zoom, ease of use, manual settings etc.

Whenever any1 trying to get a digital camera, do not get distracted about the huge amount digital zooms..like 10x or 15x..these are digital zooms like when you preview a pix in xp and zoom it.

always luk for optical zoom, this is the real zoom, i bought a canon ixus75 which has 3.5x optical zoom and 7.1x digital zoom. It costed me 14k long back this yr.

So always luk for optical zoom.

^^ dude I am not talking about digital zoom, if u have gone with the specification of the said model before posting a comment, u may know tht it has "huge" optical zoom

True buddy, but you haven't checked the specs of canon SX 100 IS. It has 10x Optical zoom and not digital zoom.

Yes and I too recommend Canon SX 100 IS. Just bought 2 weeks ago and the results are awesome, simply mindblowing.

I will be posting pics taken from the camera soon, will let you know.
Also a review is underway, but will take some 3 weeks more, as I have exams.

i got canon sx100IS..specs are..

10x optical zoom
8 MP
Multi face detection...
easy use and only 2 ion-lithium AAA size (simple pencile cell size) batteries used!

Flash is closeable...means..while u put it in bag flash closed

like a switch...

better you decide...if i say its very good,you might feel .i m saying bcs i m using

But tell you...any Canon cam is best...so see and think before you buy

i got this from US and it saved me some.. 5 to 7K

regards.

regards.

I never told that the proposed digicam is lacking optical zoom. I just gave my sugg what to luk for when buying a digicam..thts it.

if u can increases your budget...then go for upcoming...canon SX10 IS with 20X optical zoom having digic 4 processor....

This camera is ranked

1st of 45 in Panasonic
1st of 91 in $200 - $300
1st of 56 in Extended Zoom

for you budget go for Cannon's SX 110 IS. and if you can get it form abroad then go for SX10IS with a superb 20x optical zoom.

FZ28 is costly+ it has some less manual controls. and rest i forget.

go to an electronics store.. take both in your hands one by one.. and buy the one you are more comfortable with. After all, whatever we say, the final decision is upto you...

gyz there will allso help you transfer a few sample shots to a laptop for you to compare the quality of the shots yourself.

but rest assured.. if you do this at croma... the salesperson will be much too keen to sell you a canon over a sony.. dont get pushed by the opinion of the salesperson and take a pick yourself.... as it is there is nothing to choose between both of them..

If you want to avoid even doing that..

This will come for your help.

I would have strongly suggested it, had I seen this thread earlier.

I have one, as a casual cam for the days when i don't feel like lugging my dslr and all it's lenses around.

The FZ28 is an excellent P&S cam, which is loads of fun to use. It has a very useful HD (1280x720p) video recording function too..although max individual segment length is 8 min. The best thing about the FZ28 is the lens;

it's a high quality lens, and shows excellent optical characteristics across nearly it's entire zoom range 27-486mm (18x). There is a decent degree of manual control available too, although, obviously not as much as in a dslr.

FZ28 = highly recommended.
