konquerror 21 Report post Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) Well I would suggest go for Canon A1100 IS. Canon cams are better than Sony for low light photography. It's my personal experience. Here is the ebay URL where you can get the same for Rs 8565/- http://cgi.ebay.in/C...=item414a30e794 Edited November 3, 2009 by konquerror Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kindly suggest which will be better and best. don't go for sony or samsung go for canon or nikon which ever suits to you. in case of sony technology get's outdated very fequently. like memory cards. for any thing you have to pay more because you are suppose to purchase it from sony only. in case of samsung service support is pathetic. also phones are very delicate. Canon and Nikon are pinoreer in this market Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ani_meher 42 Report post Posted November 3, 2009 One photographer told me that in higher range, canon is superior to nikon, and nikon is actually considered as poor man's canon! I will also support the above notion, that go for Canon. Don't fall for ad gimmicks, find a camera with max lens size (usually 1/2.5", but some cams go upto 1/1.8"), and the camera should give you full manual mode. VERY useful for going deep into learning photography. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aeroamit 18 Report post Posted November 3, 2009 You can check in e-bay for some really good deals.I bought Sony DSC T90 with 2GB card and 1 yr warranty from e-bay for Rs.12900/- and also received Moser Baer DVD player as Diwali gift from e-bay.Camera quality is top notch and pictures are also superb. But in regular market, I too feel that Sony products are priced very high as the same is available at 17500/-. You may get some good deals on cameras referred by Rimwebians . Below is the link for camera which I bought from e-bay. http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180417257359&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgiitk 32 Report post Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) I have also found Canon microcontrast much better then the others - result sharper looking pictures. I think the new Nikons should be about the same. As for Panasonic they have a Leica lens, I do not know the rest. I would advise go for a camera which takes AA batteries, rather than custom batteries. I you want to buy mail order have a look at www.jjmehta.com. My experience (of half a dozen purchases) suggests they are excellent. Edited November 4, 2009 by sgiitk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ani_meher 42 Report post Posted November 4, 2009 Always buy camera that has IS i.e. image stabilization, otherwise on zoom the photos will always be blurred. Specially with super zoom cameras, IS is must. The canon 480 does not have IS, also it has DIGIC II processor IIRC, and not DIGIC III. Go for advanced ones. Buy as updated camera as permitted by your budget, not the ones being phased out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saurav 22 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 On ebay cameras are available cheap with dealer warranty. Should I go for camera with dealer warranty or opt for manufacturer warranty by paying more (Approx 1.5K - 2K) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
konquerror 21 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Dealer's warranty is of no use...suppose you buy cam and then your dealer disappears from ebay...what will you do? Always go for manufacturer warranty AFAIK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aviator 3 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Well, bought FE46 Olympus. Its a 12.5 MP camera with 5X optical and 4X digital zoom. Bought it for 6K from rediff... Till date, its running good. Dealer warranty is nt worth but yes, it saves u money and anywaz the rate of defect in DG Cam is quite less, so one can take the risk as far as i think!
