I am looking for a good camera having good zoom and good vedio rec (with zoom) i have following models in my mind

Sony - DSC-HX100V
Canon - EOS 1100D Kit (EF S18-55 IS II)

can also go for any other models if that is better then this...

If u want zoom then forget dslr cams like 1100d.

Zoom lenses of dslr r of different league then zoom cams....and also to get a zoom lens equivalent to hx100v u have to spend around 3-4 lakh :)
