Urgent Camera Suggestion please !!!!

[pappusmailbox]

Guyz...........I need an urgent help.

A frnd needs to buy his first digicam within a budget of 12-13k , from among the following brands only : Sony/Nikon/Cannon

Photography level : beginner
Cam usage: nominal to frequent (and just for casual fotography)

Can u please suggest some models from the three brands?

[Aragorn]

^ SX110 IS .. around 14K .. i am sure that in gray u will get for 11K or something ...

[pappusmailbox]

^^ thanks Aragorn...

The guy is hell bent on buying only from an authorized dealer / showroom ...which unfortunately makes the Canon PowerShot SX110 IS out of his budget.

What do u say about these two models?

• Digital IXUS 95 IS
• PowerShot A2000 IS

Here is the comparison chart of the two:

Product Comparison of Digital IXUS 95 IS Â and PowerShot A2000 IS - Digital Cameras - Canon India

Please advise.


PS: any suggestions on Nikon / Cybershots ?

No leave those and get the one suggested by Aragorn
SX110 IS
your friend will bless you for this.

^^ Done ...SX110 IS (quality se koi compromise nahi)....will tell the frnd to squeeze out a thousand bucks more and get this one.

Hope...the frnd would utilize the purchase well

[Aragorn]

Great then .. ... do let us know what he got eventually ..

These Canon's always seem to get it right. Though expensive than others.

WOW!!!!!!!!! Will check this out!

[Aragorn]

^ U are lucky ... at 9.5K .. I would pick two of these ..

[montylee]

SX110IS is a gr8 cam, i had it and lost it The only -ve is that it's a bit bulky but with the features and price, it's a killer. And i love the widescreen mode of SX110IS.

[pappusmailbox]

Fantastic offer ...really...the only prob is the frnd is at Kolkata...and this deal wont ship to W.Bengal and UP

He is tryin to get the "SX110 IS" locally frm Kolkata...he doesn't mind evn if its 15k, considering its a quality cam.

GOD!!! just a yr back I wasted 13k on my Cybershot W170...

[Aragorn]

^ God .. just a year back u werent on Erodov .... ..

[Ad1tya]

SX110 IS hands down.

Ive not seen a better PnS for the budget. I got it for 9k when it launched in USA. Great camera!
