Hi Confused :) The best camera for 15k will be the Canon S5 IS (Without bill)

If you want to get a camera with bill, under 15k...look at some of the Kodaks.

Sony cyber shot is also a good option.. :)

hv been using this cam for 3 yrs really rigorously :D and not a single problem faced, be it climate like hot summer, sweaty palms, wet fingers or dust and wind.. and its flash is awesome gr8 ! U get clearest pics even in pitch black darkness (wen u cant even see ur hands in the dark)....

As always when you're going to invest your money in an area you're not familiar with, think carefully first. I suggest you should also consider factors other than the movie mode.

I posted a brief summary in another thread. Instead of repeating evrything here, please read it: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91419

After reading that, think about what you want to do with a camera. Then ask any specific questions you have here.
