My choices are:
1. Canon A810(16 MP,5x optical Zoom, HD recording, AA Battery)
2. Canon A1200(12.1 MP,4x optical Zoom, HD recording, optical view finder, AA battery)
3. Olympus VG-150(12 MP,4x optical Zoom ,Li-ion Battery)
or any other model you want to suggest in my budget of 4.5k!!!!!!!!

I think the Canon A810 will be ideal in your budget. The A1200 is also a great camera(although old)

you can also consider panasonic lumix dmc ls6

olympus vg-150 has a very low video resolution and has 4x optical zoom.

Among the three models, A810 is the "one".

Just check Panasonic FH series and S series models in this budget.

^ :? With Panasonic you can focus as close as 5cm. That's decent enough for close up, I think.

Click, I think I didn't offend you by my comment. :cool:

And sorry for not clearly mentioning the models. I meant Panasonic (FH and S series models) not LS series. LS can only focus as close as 15cm, it won't be good enough for close up shot.
