Friends,
Looking for a decent point & shoot camera. Zoom not important. Casual photography is the need for this. So please let me know your thoughts.

I had used Panasonic Lumix FH1 and it was awesome for me. Now thinking about FH2. Any other suggestions? I am against the touch operations. So need a conventional and great camera which is vfm.

Inputs pls?

thank you but A2200 doesn't have IS which is required for me.

Am k for a budget of 7.5k at max. Thinking of the below so pls suggest:

Canon A3200 IS
Panasonic Lumix FH2
Panasonic Lumix FH3
Panasonic Lumix DMC S3
Panasonic Lumix DMC LS5
Olympus VG-110 or VG-120 or VG-140 etc.,
Sony W530

These are the best ones I got on research but please need your valuable inputs. Which is the BEST VFM of these...

Thanks sujoy. Read in amazon regardng the Image distortion for A3300 IS. Looks like the same applies to its younger A3200. Is it true? Anyways After lot of analysis, decided between these 3:

A3200 IS Canon
Lumix DMC FH2 Panasonic

Please check and let me know. No reviews gave exact info...:(

Here it is for A3300 but also applicable for A3200 as both are same except for screen and pixels:

A wider aperture is better is what you say?Pardon my ignorance...but I checked the features and it has lot of features like Intelligent resolution technology when studied: Please see if canon has similar?

I have read the review in cameralabs.com as well and it does not mention any distortion...it even have samples to view...
