K

Hello Everyone,
I am planning to buy a new digital camera. I am very confused with the brands and models, coz i don know much about cameras. so, it would be helpful if someone suggests me a good camera. And my budget is within Rs. 5-9k.. Thanks.

Buy Canon PowerShot A3200 IS. You will get it at around 8.7k

I am also planning to buy this camera. Is it better than others in its price range?

@Sounava
Any reason for PowerShot, Why not IXUS from Canon ?

You wont get any camera from the IXUS range in the 5k - 9k budget.

^^Except the older models like 105.

@Sounava, thanks for confirming. I will be ordering through Flipkart.

@Sounava
Do you re command any good IXUS Series cam in 10-14k budget ?

IXUS 115HS for complete value for money.

IXUS 220 HS 14.5k
IXUS 115 HS 11.5k

Also consider Canon Powershot SX130 IS at around 12k. Its great!!!

A1200? That is an entry level camera. If you can spend a little more, A3200 IS is a better buy.

No diff as such. IXUS range in general are more stylish. IXUS range are called PowerShot in US. [There is no IXUS range in US. All are called PowerShot]

I saw PowerShot & IXUS both as separate range, Check Canon India site, They have two sections for PowerShot & IXUS.

Canon is the best but I think you should go for Nikon cool pix in that range.

Just get this months digit ( May 2011 ) . And you shall have your comparison's .

Personally , I think Canon is great

@xtremevicky709
By any chance, This comparison article published on site ? Dont have paper copy of mag now.

Forget comparisons of magazines. In general they are in a hurry to properly review/compare them.

And it is not wise to buy low end Nikon cameras. In general Nikon does not make great point and shoots.
