Digital Camera Price

R

Hello,

I am interested in buying a digital camera in the range of 15,000 to 20,000 RS. I have basically narrowed it down to two choices after reading a lot of reviews by users and professional reviewers.

Both of the cameras I have chosen are Canon's, they are in order of preference the Canon PowerShot A710 IS and the Canon PowerShot A540.

Unfortunately for me I live in Mangalore city (actually about an hour away near Manipal), hence there are no decent shops or showrooms around. The one shop that does sell Canons sells them at a pretty high price, the A540 is priced at 14,999!!, and they don't even have the A710 IS yet.

So I am considering making a trip to Bangalore sometime to make the purchase unless I can get a better deal here. So could anyone please tell me the price range for these cameras in Bangalore?

Sorry for the lengthy post, and thanks to everyone!

Peace

Canon is the best make i have used... so you can go for it.. i think A540 is costing around 12500/- with 20% TAX ( VAT is 20% on CAMERAS)

Thanks for the reply shantanu_webmaster.

I just wish there were people from Bangalore who could give me the prices for the cameras in Bangalore..

Well even then it would still be good to get prices from anywhere in the major metros..

Thanks

Well for 20000/- I think you should go for Canon S3IS

Those prices are completely retarded.... looks like the document is really old cos there's no way anyone will pay 2.1 lacs for an EOS 5D when it sells abroad for roughly 2300$. Lame if you ask me to be asking more than 2 lacs for it. Same with all the other DSLRs. The 350D is down to 32K street price afaik with bill and warranty.

Can someone kindly post Sony DSC-H5 price in Kolkata ?

@roccstar2 i would suggest u to go for Canon Power shot 710 IS..
I had recently bought it from alpha market mumbai @13,500

i think canon makes a huge difference Quality wise ,, so go for any model but prefer the make as CANON

Thanks for all the replies guys! I will most probably be going to Bangalore on the 16th of this month. I hope to pick up a good deal on the 710 IS. I've have done my research pretty well and have read all the reviews on the major digital camera review sites. I can't wait to get my hand son this baby!

Thanks to all!!

I bought Canon S3IS thru Auction at www.indiatimes.com. Got it for Rs. 19,750/- (incl. delivery charges). I think its a gud price for this camera.

i bought the a540 ten days back, and believe me i am more than happy for it manual control. no other camera gives u such options at that price. i paid 13,200/- just for the camera. kolkata price.

P

For official price go to www.canon.co.in
By the way official price of A540 is Rs.14496.
and A710-IS is Rs.21395.

Take my suggestion. In budget of Rs 15000 you can get the SONY DSC-W30.
You can get SONY DSC-N1 around Rs 22000 and SONY DSC-W100 around 20000.

Sony's digital camera produce more powerful picture then Canon. Compare specification. Better you believe on your eyes. Go in one shop, take picture using both camera and let your eye decide which is the better? I sure that you will answer SONY.
Nikon coolpix is also a better option.
