I want to buy a digital camera..in the range of 20k..with good optical zoom, fast startup..good effects, fast autofocus.

Please suggest a compact digital camera..

I am considering Sony cybershot DSC-HX20V , Sony cybershot DSC-HX10V, Canon PowerShot SX240 HS or SX260 HS.
(Is it worth it) ?

Or if any other option available of different company then please suggest.

Ashish,
Canon is not as fast as Sony or Panasonic. So this kicks out SX240/SX260.

TZ30 for 16k
HX20V for 18k

If you are ok with bridge,
FZ60
HX200V
P510
