its not clear what the purpose of the cam is. if its daily use, then go for any Canon, you will get the best price/performance range here.
It will fulfill all your needs. And in canon you can upgrade your lens.

things you need to look for a cam is

ISO settings (Higher the better) allows you to take sharper photos in low light
Image Stability corrects the shake of the cam
Macro mode lets you take super close ups of bugs,flowers etc(national geographic type

)

thanx for info dude...well usage is just like a normal camera...daily basis but should get higher resolution (atleast 1600*1200 type) pics with sufficient clarity....plus a proper flash 2 get nice pix at dark areas....plus a decent zoom...is it only abt megapixel or other things shud i luk fr

ps: any site wich tells price(INR) n specs of them...meanwhile m googling for it...

thanx

Enjoy~!

the best thing for you to do is to go to any of the BIG showrooms and take a look at your self.

the res you want i think is a 16:9 ratio, the canon i have does not have this option but my sony has.

so you need to have lots of time and patience to buy a nice cam. go to shops ask them for a demo. see what you like, make a note of it and then go some where else. at the end of the day you will be able to narrow it down to 3-4 models. then you can google.

Dude A710 IS is 7.1mpx It has excellent image clarity even in low light conditions. And the best part,it has 6X Optical Zoom!
