I need a good point and shoot camera within 5K.it should have good image quality.
under your price range i think this camera will fall PowerShot A495 -5k
oderwise if u can increase for 1k more--
den options cud be Sony DSC-S2100 - 12 megapixel, 3inch LCD,3x zoom
canon PowerShot A3100 IS - 10megapixel, 4x zoom, 2.7inch LCD
But A495 is not available here.How about powershot A800
A495 and A800 both are almost same in spec... kindly try in canon showroom that would really help.. oderwise A800 luks superior
Try to get a Fuji cam. they are cheap and VFM.
My first 2 digital cams were both fuji. loved it. after that i went to canon camp. sx10 is and now another model
