    In my experience to shoot while riding you need a cam which fits in your pocket. You mostly miss the moments incase you have to unpack the camera unless its landscape. Hence I use my mobile most of the time.
    Currently using Panasonic Lumix FX-520 for almost 4 Years but finding it a tad slow.
    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

    Now no more into professional stuffs and becomes unfriendly.
    Always bulky and you keep on spending.

    Travel friendly and portable is the need of the hour for a Biker boy.

    Planned Nikon D3200 initially but shelved it.
    hahaha.. that is some set ! Why not try Panasonic Lumix TZ30? Its got good features, its more compact and priced lesser too incase it might concern you. If you want to travel with it then the Cybershot looks hefty.

    Planning to buy a Compact Digital Camera and have narrowed down on this.

    Sony Cybershot DSC HX30V with 18.2 MP

    Any other options in this range or category.
    Although budget is not a constraint.

    First things first; I need a camera.
    Should I straightaway head to a DSLR or should I get a PnS first.

    Being held up by a strict budget I thought I should get an intermediate cam first (the likes of Sony HX100v sold for about ~22k). Anything above the 25k mark will be out of reach for now.

    Also, I have no idea about what photography is.
    Is there a place/forum/periodical/online tutorial/book/anything alike where I could learn Photography from scratch??

    Someone suggested I subscribe to Smart Photography - the magazine. Any good reviews?


    Need all the help I can to learn this long coveted art.
    Its always better to go from a intermediate to DSLR. Who knows you might not have time.. you might not have the skills.. there is no point just pointing and shooting with a 30k DSLR and by the time we master the skills, there might be better cameras available.

    You have plenty of good choices for <25k bro. Canon SX260, Cybershot HX20v are great.

    You dont need to subscribe to any magazine unless you are the magazine reading type. There is enough info online.

    All my opinions are from reviews online. I myself am searching for a cam !

    The nikon is nice but at 20k way out of my budget. I want to use the p&s as an intermediary before jumping on to a DSLR. I dont see the point in spending 20k now and again 30k later. And the canon models are no longer available

    This canon model is also not available, now there is SX240HS which is a good cam but costs 20k.

    I found this. Panasonic Lumix TZ25 for 15k. What do you guys say? Is the service support of panasonic good or I should stick with canon and nikon? thanks for your input guys.

    Am looking at P&S with PASM manual controls for 15k. But all i could find was Canon PowerShot SX150 IS at 10k and Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 and Sony CyberShot DSC-HX10V at 17.5k
    Nikon Coolpix S9100 and Sony CyberShot DSC-H90 which retail for about 14k? Do these fit my bill? I guess the coolpix does not have any manual controls.
    Any suggestions around 15k? Zoom and low light quality with least lag is what i'm looking for.

    Thank you for your inputs
