    One more small question.. when u purchased this cam..what was the memory card packed? how many GBs?
    My Brother in law had ordered it through some shoping network and he did not get any memory cards along with the cam . I brought a 2 GB card here in Coimbatore which cost me just Rs 350 . Who ever is buying it for you ask them to chek on the shopping network what all are included in the package . If you are buying that i would suggest you buy the lens adapter its called DMW LA3 . Its dificult to get in India . Once you have that you can try and fix any other lence ( Tele/Macro ) , I mean a different brand .It cost around 28 pounds i guess

          seriously speaking apart from what u have initially decided..ie the panny..the LX-3 and the fuji s100fs..are two sassy cams.
          actually the s100fs stands currently at the top of the pyramid in zooms.the features that it has nobody has.its expensive to some sort..but very much worth.its like one time buy and happy.

          the LX-3 from panny is the current top in compact clarity vise in low noise dept..

          rest all i dont find interesting.

          anvancy.
          there are no stupid questions.


          but there are stupid people.

            If Fujifilm Finepix S100 FS is in your list and the price doesnt bother you then just go for it bro.. its the closest you can get to a DSLR.. if not S100 FS.. then simply go for Lumix FZ28...

            • Naah man... Fujifilm Finepix S100 FS is way out of my budget... Can't even think of it..
              Also m not that used to it's manual zoom..

              I know it's undoubtably one the best cams available..but it's too costly for me..

              Where as FZ28 hopefuly fits in my budget n is a good one for a beginner like me....

              • Info Help : Nikon D40 in bangalore

                Been a long time with a small camera. Want to move up since a compact point and shoot does not do justice to what ever nature scenery i try to capture.

                Given my small budget, i want to purchase the Nikon D40 with the kit lens. I some day dream to own the Pentax weather proof SLR with those amazing lenses...

                Please help. I am inclined to buying from the grey market FYI... since its selling for approx 415 USD in USofA where as a call to GK Vale in bangalore gets me a quote of Rs 31K which is bull...

                Help with some info.

                      If you are interested to pick one up from Grey market then why not try ebay.in or shopping.indiatimes.com ..the price is too less and u even receive manufacturer's warranty for some products

                      • Thanks for the address bprags. I'll just go there personally instead of calling, since nobody there cares for a quote over phone. Should i be taking names to get a better quote?... pssst do you know any magic names like that??

                        Hey synergizer,
                        I did check out ebay.in and saw that the camera sold for ~ Rs 20,600 ... but none specified the 'under warranty' tag. Any particular vendors i am supposed to look out for?

                          Here's one with warranty..

                          eBay India: NIKON D40 DSLR WITH 18-55MM LENS!WARRANTY!TAXES INCLUDE (item 110335777132 end time 16-Jan-2009 14:09:46 IST)

                          btw.. why dont u go for Olympus E-420 that a great cam for the price and you get lot more features with it...

                          • Hi Synergy,

                            I dont need to worry about the build quality of the Nikon. But if its the olympus ....... i would not comment unless i get a hands on experience which is next to impossible ..... i would not mind any brand but after going through reviews about the olympus... i very much prefer the D40 for fewer cons than the olympus (build quality, grip, view finder). Dont you think the view finder is like the engine of a bike.... if the view finder sucks... even the costliest camera is a total waste

                            Too bad that D40 does not come as a body only option. I could have chosen something else than the kit lens. Do i have any options to play around in the grey market?

                              Jayesh knows me by my face and then thru a problematic fuji camera . Nothing to worry though, I would advise u to buy it from him and not ebay coz he will open the sealed cam box in front of you, u get to check the camera in real, try a few shots and then go for the deal. Regarding lenses you better talk to him and see if anything works out, by the way he can also give you Nikon India warranty in case you wanted, but it will cost more.

                              Note :- He only deals with one or two customers at a time, so u got to be patient .

                                Here in Hyderabad I enquired about the same quiet some time ago and I was able find a shop which would cut just Rs 3000 if you take the body only... which other lens are you eying on..???
