Hi Guys,

I am looking for a long zoom camera under 16K. I have shortlisted Sony DSC-H100, Nikon L810 and Olympus SP 610UZ. Can you help me to choose one from this list? You can suggest other cameras too.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
nac

I wouldn't suggest any among these... Check out SX240.

Fuji does not meet the quality provided by canon, panasonic or Sony

SX240/260 > Pana TZ30/25 > Sony HX10v > Nikon = Olympus > Fuji in this price range

Guys,

Finally bought Sony HX10v for 14,900/-. Considered various features like in-camera panorama, battery life, GPS, availability of service center in my area and chosen it over SX240.

I know, I am not getting 20x zoom but chalta hai!

Thank you everyone for suggestions. You guys rock!
