Point and Shoot Camera, Budget 10-12 K, where to buy?

[mallik]

Hi,

I am looking to buy a point and shoot camera with the above mentioned budget.

My priorities are:

Good image stabilization

Manual Mode

Good Lens

Good performance under low light

Good Battery

Compact (not essential)

Budget: 10 - 12 K (would want to keep it in that budget unless there is a marked difference in quality for a couple of grand)

Also, I am in Delhi currently, but will be going back to Bombay. So where should I buy it. I know of Alfa in Bombay, and the market near Fort, but have no clue of places to buy camera in Delhi. But it being a UT, prices must be cheaper here I guess.

Any help will be appreciated

Edit: from the reviews I am tempted to go for a Panasonic TZ7 / TZ8, but also wanted to know of similar options in Nikon, Canon and Sony

Thanks,

Mallik

are you willing to buy grey as well? you might be able squeeze in SX 130 IS or TZ8.....TZ8 would cost around 15-15 K !!

Any recommendation about shops in Delhi ? I went to Center Point in Nehru Place and they were selling TZ8 for 17,900
