Digital Camera

[napster007]

i'm planning to buy a digital camera. with atleast 6mp. my budget is 12k. can u guys suggest any good models. any brand will do as long as its a good one.

[chicha]

what is the purpose if its just casual shooting then a 7mp cam will do.
there are many in the market now different companies all are good.
I am using a canon A62O which is very very very nice, photography is my hobbie.

i have not taken any class or some thing like that.

Be carefull there are many cam's with diff capabilities.
Before you go buy one you should know what you want out of it.
My personal suggestion would be any digital cam where you can chage the lens to your taste later on.

Check out the Sony CyberShot W55. It's a 7MP camera which is very compact. Sony India bundles 512MB Memory Stick with all their digicams. Plus Sony offers 3-year national warranty. So, it's a nice option to have. Do your research and get one. There is no such thing as a perfect digicam. You will always miss out on some features..

Edit: W55 costs 12.5k, there is a cheaper W35 too which is around a grand less.

Wrong section dude.

Go for Canon digi-cams only.
Sony lacks clearity.
I can't suggest you a particular model now,sorry.

I didnt get you.

[napster007]

saw this ad on tv that it can recognize 9 different faces. what difference does it make over a normal camera????

[xbonez]

^^what it means is that suppose you've got 100s of photos in ur camera memory, and lets say u're seeing my photo, then it has the capability of showing you all the photos in which i'm in frame. that is, it will recognise my face from all the photos.

[Cool G5]

Canon face detection:

your all messed up man. what u've said is no where near the real face detection. check out the link cool g5 gave. i found out through that

[xbonez]

^^the one i'm talking about isn't in the mainstream market yet. i had read somewhere, they're still working on it. its something based on the concept digit had given an article on a couple of momths ago, image search

My cousin has this Canon Powershit A640 10 Megapixels Cam and its awesome

Costs just 12K, i think its very nicely priced though he got this from US

[napster007]

^^nice one. but is it as good as the canon p550??

[xbonez]

actually i feel 10mega pixel is a bit too much. it isn't necessary since chances are you'll never be blowing up the pics so large. its better to go for approx 7 MP and invest in a cam with good zoom (DO NOT go for digital zoom, it is crap.) a cam with 8x-10x optical zoom would be gud and should be available within your budget

[chicha]

i have both canon(7.1) and sony(7.2).
and i suggest canon its nice

You can adjust the Image resolution on that cam and i agree Optical zoom is little less but camera is good IMHO

[xbonez]

of course i know you can adjust image res. my point is that if mostly 10MP is overkill

even i agree.. 5-6 MP & 10 MP u wouldnt even be able to spot the diff
my advice would be to go for 6MP & 6X or greater optical zoom & read reviews & make sure that it is good at shooting in the dark

[ITTechPerson]

Please suggest me a model of Canon within 12 k & 1 GB RAM approx price, I need ur help.
other than that 10mp model, I need a model of 7 mp + 1 GB RAM - my budget is 12 k total, with 2 AA Alcaline battery (4 is too much)

[napster007]

so guys tell me a cam with good zoom and mp's. plz i have to get it tomm

[chicha]

buying stuff like this becomes very simple if u know what u want from it.
my bet would be a canon. choose the one with higher ISO capability(1000) is very nice.
the good thing about these cams are u can change the lens or the proper way to put it is upgread.


canon is the choice for me. and i will suggest that.
PS: please check properly what ur buying and from where ur buying.
look at atleast5-6 models go a little over ur budget too. some times they offer very good value for money.

[ITTechPerson]

And "A570 IS" with 4X optical 7.1 mp
