The pics from HX9V are superb enough for me. It's video seems to be a killer. I am disregarding the 10V because 9V is good enough and i read some bad reviews on 10V being not good enough as 9V.

The question is: Am i missing something that i ought to know before going for the HX9V ? I am sure i am going to find something to crib 2 weeks into the purchase but it would be great to hear that before i buy the snapper.

Also has anyone had any experience with Fotocentreindia.com? They seem to offer the best prices for all these cameras beating all others to pulp.
