Hello All,

Wanted to buy new point and shoot camera.

Requirements as follows....

1. Optical Zoom around 10x
2. Compact in size
3. Sensors - don't know, but need best in this price range.
4. Does not need any features like wifi, 3g , or gps, any. But if any in price and not effecting the other features in this price, acceptable.

Thanks,
Amol

Just had hands ons, and find out Full HD will be better to buy. So adding this features to requirements.
I saw canon SX240, find very impressive. Any other comparable camera with in range of SX240?

^ SX240 is a very nice camera. Almost all the time, my first choice when it comes to travel zoom.

TZ30
HX20V

are other two cameras you can compare with SX240.
