    what would be your budget for your cam?
    Well I am a noob in camera business..
    My budget is of around 12000 bucks
    Also saw the reviews of Canon Powershot A3400 IS, seems like a nice buy

    Its very easy to use. And its had to be more of a family camera. And good looking too. So got it. :P
    Besides the hx9v was an expensive affair and s9100 won against tz25 on snapsort. So got it.
    Since you bought without telling me, am not telling you !
    from a pro p&s to a family p&s eh? post some pictures dude.

    One truth is that, there's no true replacement for Canon S5IS on that price range. The only thing I'm missing in SX150 from S5IS is the Swivel LCD. I really miss that.
    exact same feeling. you have to be very specific with what you want. some cameras have good zoom others have good features. so confusing !

The best bit about it was the 3 year warranty which meant 3 years of peace of mind(Though I never had to use the privileges of warranty since everything always worked). Still using stock battery and the camera still does over 450 shots on a single charge, I find that much more convenient than using AA / Rechargeable cells which were used on the Canon S5IS / S10IS. It costed me 22k back then, but then it was totally worth the money.

    P.S.: It also has RAW and full manual mode and extension lenses support to extend its range 27-486mm range even more.
    I bought the panasonic based on such good reviews. it still comes with 3yrs warranty !

    I am in a process of buying a new camera, liked the Sony DSC-HX10V, is there any alternative to it, I found it to be little over my budget..

    DSLRs have versatility thanks to the inter changeable lens. Quality wise within the lens range of a P&S, it would be hard to find much of a difference between highend P&S and a DSLR.

    Sensor size matters and not the type. The bigger the sensor, more the quality of the picture. DSLRs with bigger sensor sizes will be able to produce pics wit more dynamic range, less noise, more detail, and better colors. You can see the sensor sizes of different camera categories in the following picture. The compact cameras have the smallest sensor size, 1/2.5".



    There are bridge cameras with little bigger sensor size (1/1.7")than regular point and shoots. P7000/7100, Panasonic LX3/LX5, Powershot G11/G12, etc. These sensors are only 10 mp in size, but they produce better less-noise images than regular P&S cameras.

    Advantages of larger sensors
    • Higher maximum resolution with current state of the art sensor technology
    • The ability to increase subject isolation with limited depth of field, using large-aperture lenses
    • The ability to get lower noise with equal shutter speeds, at the cost of decreasing the depth of field
    • Better noise performance at the base ISO value
    • Lenses may be cheaper to produce, because of the lower resolution requirements (in lp/mm, assuming equal MP count)
    • For DSLR focusing screens, easier manual focusing at equivalent depth of field


    Advantages of smaller sensors
    • Shorter telephoto lenses
    • The ability to construct smaller lenses for smaller apertures (often in the f/4-5.6 range)
    • Lower cost sensors

    Canon rocks!

    My new addition...



    Love its handling. So many external controls for quick change of settings. A tad slower though.

    Its a great companion along with Panasonic LX3 and Canon SX2IS.

    +1; exactly my point

    Didn't understand

    S5IS was a perfect bridge between P&S and DSLR; now these are priced nothing less than 18K!!! And that too Nikon doesn't even have a M mode on the similar models of SX150.

    Canon rocks in providing features & price; just that this SX150 doesn't have a swivel LCD which is a huge disappointment.

    I pity that. But that's what market evolution has done over the decade, don't keep everything in one place, spread the features for more sales..

    Good choice. Post some sample shoots soon and the black beauty.. it is a looker i was considering it for my purchase, very compact.
    You could have told me, i could have got you a better deal as i said. but why the S9100? I thought you wanted manual controls.

    Got the S9100.
    Read the reviews. Negative stuff. But all pointed out to one thing, a hanging issue. Realised its cuz of the class 4 memory card so while buying decided to get a class 10. No problems yet. At Rs13,700 its the best deal one can get. Plus the matt black is really hot. *happy*
