    @Manu: I have used the SX120 IS on a couple of ocassions and the L110 on one ocassion, and I found both these cameras at par. Decent resolution with a huge zoom lens is what these bridge cameras are all about.

    Given the sort of requirement you have (touring), either of these two should suit your needs just fine. Just give both of them a try, and see that the ergonomics suits you followed by the features, etc.

    1.Nikon p80
    2.Nikon L110
    3.Canon sx130is
    4.canon sx120is

    Iam a beginner in photography.Aryan bhai,sunny bhai and other xbhpians clicks made me to take up photography seriously
    I'll be getting it from USA,as my uncle will be visiting us in Jan 2011.
    suggest me a good cam based on my requirements.
    Requirements:
    *It should be good for tourers and motography
    *VFM
    *service and accessories availability in Bangalore.

    Am a noob in cameras,so you can add any other better camera if you know.

    You can also have a look at the canon 60D which was recently launched, though it will cost a lot more than the D3100.
    I am very much interested in Nikon D3100.

    And the D3100 should cost you somewhere in the range of 34k-37k with the 18-55mm Nikkor kit lens.
    Noise level i faced at iso800 when i was trying to capture a bird flying in the sky. So i talked with some photographer and they said that the nikon (Particularly D60) has some noise issue.........after all i am not a expert photographer & i am also thinking to buy entry level Dslr.

    The D3100 is priced above the D5000, so should be in the range of 36-37k.

    Glad to know that you got into the Canon family and got yourself a brand new 1000D. It is a good camera, no doubt and I sure hope we get to see some sample shots from your 1000D in the 'Photography & Critique' thread soon.

    Enjoy.

    Canon and Nikon, both, have some amazing D-SLRs and lenses in their line-up. I would suggest you try out both the D3000 and the 1000D in your hands, and then choose wisely as per your ease-of-use and ergonomics, etc. Image Quality (IQ) is more or less for both the models, so does the kit lens (which I believe is the "18-55mm").

    But, please remember that once you get into a 'system' (either Canon or Nikon) and eventually build up your lens collection, it would be hard (almost impossible) to switch brands. Just use both the brands and see what suits you better.

    All the best and keep us informed.
    i've never used a nikon or canon came before..so as you said, i'm gonna get into a 'system'...as far as brand is concerned, i don't have any kind of biasing to any of these two brands..so..i'm in a dilemma..

    i tried both the cams in my hand. and to make matters worse i felt both of them easy to use..

    i read some of the comparo between the two cams, and they mention live view missing in 3000d,11 point AF in 3000d and all..as it is big decision(22k is a big deal..!!)i don't wanna do something and repent about it later..

    so whatever u professionals and more experienced guys say, i'm ready to do...
