Hello guys,
I need to buy a camera for my brother at strictly under 15k

Please suggest one that has good performance in terms of image quality, features and battery life

I also need your suggestions regarding these three cams.
1.Nikon Coolpix S100@12560/-
2.Sony Cybershot DSC-H90@13700/-
3.Canon IXUS 230 HS@13575/-

Out of those three I would pick IXUS 230 eventhough H90 have manual exposure mode and wider angle lens. (Too tight to pick between these two).

I don't fancy touch screen, so Nikon is way out of the league. Not just that, smaller aperture, little zoom...

I was also thinking about the IXUS 230 and it also has got good reviews
I think i'll be going for this one.
Thanks for the reply.

wow this is good and fast decision

My bro had made his decision for the IXUS already and i think this cam met all his requirements

Why not increase the budget a lil bit and go for Sony HX9V which is a much better option.

HX9V has been eol'ed, better get Canon SX230HS(also eol'ed but available locally) or Sony DSC HX10V.

SX230 as well as SX220 has been discontinued....

How about Fujifilm FinePix F660 EXR at 17k ??

Locally available. Old stock.

Dont go for hx10v its upgrade of hx7v rather than hx9v....the true upgrade is hx20v

HX20V will cost 22k+, sony is getting greedier by the day, straight 7k increase.

I think OP was okay with IXUS 230 and finalized. He said "strictly under 15k". All the cameras has been suggested are above that.

Yup sx230hs is good one
