Off-topic: I am planning to buy Nikon Coolpix P90. kindly advise if this is a good camera in the range of 25k or if there are better options available???

Hey i have used P90 and i was not really impressed with that camera... better go with Canon SX20 with almost same features but a better image stabilizer than Canon on this cam...

Also, you can consider D500 from Canon if u want to go with a DSLR... it is almost the same price...

Canon point and shoot cameras are better as far as i have used them and would rate it over Nikon

500D (or Rebel T1i, in US) is a bit costlier. I got it a month back from US for around 32K for a cam with 18-55 mm basic lens. It definitely costlier in India, if I am not mistaken. 450D (or XSi, if purchased from US) should fit the 25k budget. I think the only difference is the HD video recording.

DSLR system is much complicated then Superzoom like SX20

u have to spend a fortune to get 15-20x zoom lens in slr

for general purpose I would recommend FZ35 and SX20 any day

Picture was printed in Times of India delhi October 5th 2010
Note: they cropped the signature and bit of top .

^^ WTF!! How could people from TOI do this? Don't they have their own professional photographers? This is weird.

[toofan]

This is horrible. Did you contacted them about the copyright. And ask them to pay you.
Abhinav: Its time to watermark them at center and add your email address if someone wants to contact you for permission or something like this.

Four non-technical things to consider before you jump on DSLR bandwagon

Good camera, you can do plenty with it.

[Anorion]

Nice one Stuge! lol

[Stuge]

Deal done ! amount taken(won't be disclosing here ) with letter(won't be posting here ).just hoping cheque doesn't bounce

[Stuge]

[icebags]

hi stuge, nice shots. what cam setups did you use for these CW Games series ?

(i hope the amount paid by them was a good one, considering their business radius )

[sujoyp]

Now I know y people write their signature at center of picture(which actually look bad)..but better then someone steal our pics

[a_medico]

No mater what they paid, it was still a theft. Its just hard to digest that people from TOI would do such things.

By the way great pics again. The Indian official in a suit seems to be enjoying the most.

[toofan]

Excellent series again Abhinav. 1st one is the best for its artistic point of view and solid composition. The symmetry is creating a wonderful effect.

hiii guys I am willing to purchase a camera this diwali.
I searched for many but liked the Canon Powershot SX120 IS (almost 13000/-)
Please suggest if there are better cameras. I want superb quality of images.
Also if I extend my budget, should I go for Canon Powershot SX20 IS?
I found there is not much difference in the picture quality of these two, its just the zoom that differs, however I am not sure....plz help me guyz...
