Hi All,

Urgently need to buy a PnS cam for parents. Within 8-9k.
Preferred brands are Canon, Nikon, Sony.


CCD is ancient. CMOS sensors will be highly preferred.

also, i will be grateful if you can provide options.

Thanks,
Anirban. :)

I am really surprised there is a seller still have this camera in stock. I don't know whether it's wrongly showing it's available or the stock is too old. However, features are great but the reviews are average and I think this model wasn't successful. If I remember correct it was launched for around 20k or something and fell as low as 5k or 6k. One of first Canon compact to have digic 5, touch, wifi... If you're interested in buying, better contact the seller before placing the order. Would I suggest this? I doubt it...

i went forward with it. the specs and the price [Rs. 7550 from Snapdeal] served as the closing notes for itself.

it will arrive by today/monday.

Everything else may not be so good. But IQ should be impressive for the price. Share us some photographs
