Planning to buy a camera below 10K. Please suggest one of the two below:

1. Sony Cybershot DSC-W570 Point & Shoot (Flipkart.com: Sony Cybershot DSC-W570: Camera)

OR

2. Nikon S6150 Point & Shoot (Flipkart.com: Nikon S6150: Camera)

not exactly...I mean nikon one have great feature..but will it be reliable to use touchscreen on cameras??...I suggest you to try it yourself at any shop...if u r ok with that then get it..

I suggest you to take a look at canon IXUS 220HS ...it have superb featureset like back illuminated sensor, full HD recording Buy Canon IXUS 220 HS (Silver) Digital Camera at Best Price in India - Also find Specifications, Photos, Features & Reviews

SX130IS is big fat and ugly looking but have great picture quality...if u want to learn photography this one is the best...remember it uses pencil cells

the problem lies nowhere with letsbuy EXCEPT the delivery times....takes about 2 weeks for delivery....pathetic for a modern online portal. they should improve on this aspect. nevertheless, you'll get your product well-packaged through blue dart....moreover, you can apply discount coupon too while purchasing.

One suggestion here, buy from authorised delers only. My reasons - warranty benefits. if tomorrow your digicam has a problem, the authorised guys can give u service on free or discountd basis. Without warranty u may face such hassles later. My cousin got hx7v camera from sony and he got 3yrs warranty and 4 GB card also free. Other retailers may not offers you these things

@jyotish...its not that way...if u get a product with bill & warranty card ...then u will definitely get servicing hassel free...

You know Nikon have only service center in Mumbai and maybe Pune in whole maharashtra...soo if your camera gets damaged you have to go to that service center..no option :(
