For 12K, you'll just get a mid ranged point and shoot camera. Try increasing your budget to around 17K...

You'll get a decent point-and-shoot camera with 10X Zoom and 8.1 MP sensor.

go for sony w80! (13.5 -14k)

1)good face detection
2)3x optical
3)free 1 gb mem card
4) stamina - 340 shots (flash on)

Thanks people 4 ur replies...but can i have some sample pictures please...like those pics taken at the nite time....thanks!!

For 14k, u can get Canon A 710IS. Search for its reviews. Its really gr8.

writing review of IXUS 70 with shots taken in different conditions.

Really good one. Worth every penny for 12k-13k. Excellent night shot quality, excellent macro and face recognition. Damn good continuous shot mode, high quality zoom and shutter speed.

Just bought W80 from Sify for 8850 including charger. great cam.

go for Canon, it is the best in digi-world, but go for any other model rather than one you posted above

Dont buy anything other than sony... Sony rocks

I got a Sony WDC Series DigiCam which has some imported lense. I bought it for like 14K. It absolutely roxx.

Took pics on Beaches, Valleys, Temples, Farms, Campings, Sunsets etc. Everything is crystal clear.

Though IXUS costs 2k less that W80's price, the test shots looked lot better than W80's.

Can u post link from sify coz i am not able to find out on sify shopping about that W80, man this is goddamm cheap?

Huh

Are u sure Sify gives original with bill ??

Site says - Warranty : Six Months Vendor Warranty

Sony World gives 1 year warranty..

Looks like smuggled ones.

SONY products are good, but buy SONY only if you want to buy and use them with SONY memory sticks at prices determined by SONY. I do not like their monopolistic attitude. Canon and Nikon support two or three types of memory.

What makes you think SONY isnt good*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/41a.gif

Was it necessary for you to bump this 1 month old thread to say this without telling the reason why sony isnt good?

Hey! Few days back i was at Palika bazaar and i saw that SONY W80 was selling for 6500/- but heck it wasn't with warranty!

^^Dont buy it if they are not providing with the warranty...
Must be stolen or broken

Well he was giving 1 year warranty from his side!

Dont trust that person. What if your cam gets damaged and can be repaired only from a qualified Sony technician or something?
Its not a good deal...

I'm not interested in indulging unwanted debates, but what I've told about Sony is true about whole all of their product range.

PS : I also owns Sony products !
