    You have a PM
    Dint think I'd take your advice too seriously,now did you?
    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*

    i) DSC HX-200V (This is heavy,bulky with different form factor and 27-810)
    ii) DSC HX-20V (This is lighter and slim & available in India and 25-500)
    iii) DSC HX-30V (Similar with the above but with Wi-Fi and 25-500)
    I wish i could afford those !
    But i dont get it. Why will someone buy these when there a DSLR is just a step away? You can point and shoot with DSLRs too. My friend got a HX100V for pointing and shooting. I think i will steal it from her.

    If I were you, I'd have chosen hx9.

    PM reverted.

    After you choose check out the price @ flipkart, photovatika or smartshopper.

    I chose the Lumix cause of the feature set, it matches HX10 but at 2k lesser. The image quality seems to be the same to me.

    If you can extend your budget to 20k you got some great options.

    Probably that tilts me in favour of DSC HX-30V.

    My touchscreen Lumix have never faced any issue so no idea of Servicing.
    Honestly ELECTRONICs item are mostly about luck and till date nothing has happened to other items as well.
    May be the problems are afraid to enter our house of Engineers, although I am not.

    Of late at times the Card Slot shows error.
    With neat and hard press it works fine too.
    I had just placed an order for Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ25 and you give me that link which suggests the Sony HX9 to be a better option. Anyway i got a good deal, i dont find much of difference in image quality and i wanted the manual controls which are available in the lumix.

    Good to hear that there are no issues with your panasonic. dude its 4yrs old, you cant complain ! lol i placed my order at photovatika.com, very helpful chap, maybe you can try there.

    Why are you inclining towards HX30 and not the 20? simply for wifi?

    One question for you, how do you find panasonic service backup? Faced any issues in 4yrs of ownership?

    Thanx man..really!


    Do suggest a good cam say within 15k. Dont wanna unnecessary waste hard earned money for now.

    Hence the update besides since in a big Family when someone is on Tour the other person is devoid of any Camera.
    Compared with all other Cameras as well.
    There are Two Cybershots
    i) DSC HX-200V (This is heavy and bulky)
    ii) DSC HX-20V (This is lighter and slim & available in India)
    iii) DSC HX-30V (Similar with the above but with Wi-Fi)

    Planning the last one from US to be bought this weekend but my Bro will come in Aug-2012.
    The nearest one with good value was Lumix DMC ZS20 but with lesser ISO
    The Nikon Coolpix S9300 comes with similar ISO but higher Megapixels.
    The Canon 260SX260 lost on Battery and ISO as well.
    And YES all the Cameras are almost in the same range of 350-400 USD!!!

    Checked and compared in the following sites as well.
    Compare digital cameras - Snapsort
    Digital Camera Reviews and News | Digital Camera Resource Page
    www.dpreview.com
