Any idea about CHDK for A3200???

@sujoyp
if we compare nikon S3100 and canon A3200,which one is better and why?

canons Digic 4 is fast, there IS is very good I have used it and its better then Sony's...there r lots of picture modes...user interface is simple

I see no image stabilization on nikon model...it will definitely help in low light too

but for Sensitivity : ISO is 1600 on case of Canon A3200 IS where as in Nikon S3100 its 3200.
How about this ???

ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 is not worth considering in point and shoots....even after ISO1600 the image quality degrades very much

Even in DSLRs I dont go much beyond ISO800 or max ISO 1600

now i have short listed 3 cam

1. Nikon Coolpix S3100.
2. Canon A3200 IS
3. Nikon Coolpix S4150

the only difference betw the two nikon is one is with buttons and other is touch screen.

is it reliable to go for touch screen ...then .. buttons....????

Don't go for touch screen....better stick with a normal cam with buttons

yup go for buttons...dont go for touch screens now

Does any one own A3200 Canon? Is the image distorted as being reported on amazon? How about Lumix FH2
