U r comparing 3 different genere of cams...A long zoom a compact and a middle of both:lol:

If u want a pocketable cam its better to take Sony tx9...it got good reviews

Canon SX130 IS is very good for learning photography, it have excellent pic quality and great zoom....but its big and fat and use alkaline battery...

Sorry donno about fujifilm one..I think its launched recently soo didnt got any reviews too.

Its actually upto you...U want to carry your cam everywthere in pocket and need a stylish small cam then sony TX9 is for you

U can carry a pouch in hand and wanna learn photography beyond auto mode :-D then get SX130IS

i was comparing them because they are priced quite similarly. so, as per your vies, for better photography SX130IS is better? i am not concerned about the size.

dont compare on paper...actually convinence to take everywhere is very important..

I have a DSLR but also keep a p&s cam sony T100 which is similar to Tx9...very small and pocketable...

anyways if size dosnt matter get SX130IS...great cam

thanx for your replies.... what camera would you suggest for video recording or shooting short videos? Storage, video shooting duration or battery backup is not an issue but should produce excellent video quality. the budget is within 20k (preferably within 15k). suggest between digicams & handycams. i've checked some entry level handycams but their video output is not upto par with TX9 or SX130IS.

Please suggest soon. thanx.

I dont have much idea about handycams..never purchased one:)

But decide on your priority ...if picture is 1st and video is 2nd then get SX130IS...just that it uses alkaline pencil cells...soo always have to carry spare ones..coz recharging those will take almost 12-15 hours.

yu may also consider nikon 100P, can record videos, decent zoom, well featured. under 20k, yu will get 500P i suppose.

Any simple tripod from this page would do for that camera.

For such a small and light weight camera, even the Simpex 333 will do, which costs around 500 bucks.
