    Was previously looking at SX150, but the optical viewfinder is VERY IMPORTANT for me personally.
    I dont think you will find a optical viewfinder in that budget.

    One good thing is the 28mm wide angle lens is very helpful & 1CM macro is beneficial compared to 0CM.

    Flash is one crap; I'm still learning as where to position the camera so that the flash is not too bright (not too low); I'm compensating by doing a slight over exposure at long distance. Hope you understood what it means.

    Serious photographers do check the pic at pixel level. When you crop the image to get a better frame, quality at pixel level is important. A serious photographer would always prefer a DSLR.

    I'd my own share of SLRs during the film era; I still have Canon Elan IIe with me weighing around half Kg excluding the 70-300 & 28-80 lenses

    I'd a long thought if I should ever get back to DSLR's due to the awesome results it produces; but sometimes I think these electronics are more fragile in the environment we use. For eg, my S5IS has been used in temp at 47 to -25 (Michigan) & have taken pictures of about 9 DVD's & about 8GB more to burn in the last 4.5 years. I'll be quite worried to use DSLR's like that.

    For the kind of my use & the cost of DSLR, I prefer using a bridge or even less because my needs are more important to fit for the features that a camera offers.

    Bridge is something really good for people like me who tries to make one best shot once in a blue moon as well as with price
    Ultimately, it all depends on the needs. Though I like to use DSLR, I have always settled for bridge cameras. Even recently I bought one that is close to DSLR in handling.

    DSLRs are now cheaper and not very costly. You can get an entry-level Canon for 20k (Canon's bridge camera G12 is at 30k). Coupled with a 50 mm lens, you get outstanding images. Also, there is a sea-change difference in handling and response between a DSLR and a bridge camera. Bridge cameras are always slower.

    The reason I bought bridge camera is its portability and convenience to carry while touring.

    But, one day I am sure gonna get a DSLR with 50 mm prime lens.

    Also saw the reviews of Canon Powershot A3400 IS, seems like a nice buy
    i dont see any good reviews of A3400. Anyway you need manual settings? the A34 doesnt have any.

I have been using high-end P&S for the past 5 years. I am sure I can produce a better quality image with a DSLR.
    I dont think even serious photographers do pixel peeping. You do realise that DSLRs are more complex cameras than p&s? Besides the sensor and lens there is way more gadgetry involved, that is why i said compared within the limits of a P&S.. Anyway, pl show me a DSLR which doesnt make noise?! lesser noise at higher ISOs.. yes, noise free.. no. Detail/DoF is due to bigger sensor and lens.
