[QUOTE="Sudarshan_SMD, post: 1943723, member: 19571"] As pointed out by [USER=17954]@nac[/USER]. If you find Canon S110 at cheap, that will be great. If you are interested in getting 2nd hand camera, jjmehta forum has a sale thread going on where Canon S90 is up for grabs at 9k. My perspective differ from yours. I have put forth my point in same manner as yours in following reply. 1. Yes, camera will mutli barreled lens will be more prone to getting dust in. But, it will only happen if you expose your camera to elements. Almost all low end DSLR and lens don't have weather sealing. If you expose your camera to elements, you are going to have problems. This however should not be a deterrent in buying camera, unless you are going to expose your camera to extreme conditions, in which case you'd buy a weather proof camera. 2. Bridge camera don't just appear bulky, they are bulky. - You can't put it in your pocket - You won't able to carry it with you all the time( viz. going to office, party, function). - Bigger camera is attention grabber. - You have to carry a bag for it and it's slow to retrieve. Even more so, if you put it in a backpack. Zoom-range and better grip is the only advantage that bridge camera will offer over bigger sensor P&S camera. Anyway, with most bridge camera IQ degrades as as you zoom in. There are lots of advantages of travelling light. There's a reason why Fujiflim X100 ( fixed, prime lens, expensive), Sigma DP series camera get buyers. 3. Well, it's a fact that P&S sales are lowering due to mobile phones. With bigger sensor, comes better IQ. It's not about pixel count/ print size, it's about IQ(dynamic range, noise, sharpness, etc). I'd happily trade 20MP camera for 5MP camera that has better IQ. Yes, on any other day I'd suggest bridge camera for most a person who wants to have good zoom range. However, OP needs a camera that has good IQ, is light, and zoom range is not a concern. [/QUOTE]
