Photographer camera plzz help

Skip the Sony H20 and extend your budget a bit and go for Panasonic Lumix FZ-35. LUMIX DMC-FZ35 | Digital Camera | Digital AV | Products & Solutions | Panasonic Malaysia

A superb UltraZoom Camera with loads of manual settings, completely worth the extra you spend over H20

yaah FZ35 is really best superzoom at that price range...go for it

In ur budget I would recommend Panasonic TZ6

actually my budget is 12 k
but can manage another 2ks nt a single penny more than 15 k though
sony h20 looks best option
though tz6 also good one
any other suggestions ?

You can get FZ35 for 15K in grey market , bargain more and you may get it within your budget

It is the best UltraZoom Camera within 25K. You won't change camera as fast as you change your mobile. So think before you make your final decision

go for FZ35 its best in its class. or if want to buy with bill go for sx120IS its around 13500 with bill in market and with 10x zooom and 10 mp sensor.

fz looks to me the best too
i have 12k putting extra money from other sources ...
ill consider fz
but open to other options too
iam stalked at fz35 and dsc-h20

see if u can get one of there: Top 10 Compact Point-and-Shoot Cameras - PCWorld

^^
OP wanted an Ultrazoom na, those from the link are Point and shoot
This should be the one Top-Rated Megazoom Cameras - PCWorld

Get the FZ35 as suggested or stay with Canon SX120 IS. If you can make do without MANUAL controls then have a look at Nikon L110.

Panasonic FZ35 from grey market .

Shoots in RAW
good zoom
one can use polarizer (you will need to purchase it from outside india :size is a problem)

Before u finalize take a look here too

excellent other features and heard very good reviews about it
and most important falls exactly in my budget

H20 got good reports...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 Digital Camera - Express Review - The Imaging Resource!

Guys update dsc-h20 is now officially unavailable so buying it is out of question now

my max budget is 14k now not a single penny moore (thats maxest i can afford)
i need minimum 10x zoom (or moore)
cant afford fz35,, and no canon ixus too (weird design )

now
budget : 14k
at least 10x + zoom
shud look much like dslr's ( bulky)

plzz help...
option available nikon l110 .... is it recommended ? (iam totally novice at camera adjustments)

your these two lines are contradicting each other
i shoot lotta landscaping
so i need as much of zoom as possible

landscape are shot with wide angle not with zoom, good indoor shots needs high ISO without noise (impossible to find in PS) or use light box or not on camera externalflash (very few will let you connect external flash)
most high zoom P&S employ high ISO at there telephoto end (maximum zoom) as the lens is slow (narrow aperture) and construction is compromised.
i would suggest you to rethink on your requirements as in your price range you will not get a good ultrazoom, also most sub 18K ultrazooms don't go wide enough for landscapes or have fast lens at tele end.
you can also consider canon powershot sx120 IS, canon camera's can run chdk (*chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK) to add new functions to your camera as you graduate into photography

@Azzu - You may like to read this guide I wrote an year ago on purchasing digital camera(NON-SLR).

I think u r comming down to Canon sx120IS ...It dont look good but have all the feature

I think u should again check the new superzoom comparision on dpreview

*www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q110superzoomgroup/

there 3-4 cams that falls on ur range like fujifilm S2500HD, Nikon p100

thx guys for all ur suppport
read many links u gave
and atlast finalized on nikon l110 at 14k
suits perfectly my needs
aaa batts , 15x zoom
will buy till afternoon
any last suggetions ?

emmm r u sure u like AA batteries....U have to spend extra for rechargeable cells and fast charger...

Camera is good...Great choice..go for it

Actually AA size batteries are more preferable than battery packs. You can get a charger & get 2-3 sets instead of a single spare pack which will cost you more. Again if you run out of spares, AA can be got from almost anywhere.

I have Alkaline rechargeable for my old cam...the alkaline cells were more powerful but charging them takes almost 10hrs..

The charger + 2 Alkaline cell costs nearly Rs.700-800
And if u get a better and faster charger u will spend 1k+ on charger alone


All these adds to the budget

You're right but its just a one time investment. I've 4*2700mah alkaline batteries which give enough power to shoot for 3-4 days with moderate flash use. if without flash they can go on & on for around a week or above.

great...on an average how many pics do u get in one charge...
and how much did u invest in charger+4*2700mah cell

Positive of Lithium Ion is it charges quickly and u can also keep a spare one

Anyways Nikon L110 seems good...azzu we r waiting for ur purchase

Never counted but as I said a set lasts me for 2-3 days of heavy shooting. I got Sony charger with 4 AA batteries(2500mah) for Rs.1,100 two years ago & now got two pairs i.e four Maxell 2700mah Alkalines for Rs.250 each pair.

Yeah, azeem post some pics & a brief review would be great too.

Finally i got my first Digital camera
Nikon L110
14k
got rechargable limh batterys and charger free and a pouch too awesome
thx a lot guys

Congrats azeem. Waiting for pics & your review.
