Point and Shoot Camera - Under 6k

comp@ddict

Forerunner
Budget: 6k

Need to buy point and shoot camera within the next 1 week.

Requirements:
- Stills is a priority
- HD Video Recording
- Integrated Rechargable battery(Li-Ion)
- MicroSD card 8GB (support) (I think this wont be a problem)
 
Do digital cameras these days come with microSD slot? Haven't heard of those yet.

You can always use a microSD card by using the microSD to SD adapter though.
 
Oh well. I thought. My 5 year old one has an SD slot. Figured these days MicroSD.

Most commonly available micro-SD cards' data transfer rates are too poor and inconsistent to warrant shift from the SD standard to these. Especially since most cameras these days also offer a quick-burst shoot mode.

In this tight budget your only decent options are these two [in my opinion] --
Canon PowerShot A2300 ~6900/- [street price should be around ~6700/-]
Canon PowerShot A3200 ~5900/- [street price should be around ~5700/-]
Nikon Coolpix L26 ~5900/- [street price ~5700/-]
Nikon Coolpix S2600 ~6950/- [street price ~6700/-]

You can check for their reviews from Photography Blog --> http://www.photographyblog.com/

If you are okay purchasing a second hand device then you can even look at this deal thread an old pro-zoomer is up for grabs -- http://www.techenclave.com/sell-trade-products/canon-s3is-ideal-superzoom-those-134714/.

Hope this helps, Cheerio!!
