Am looking for a good compact camera with good low light capability. Not particularly looking for compact zoom cameras. Here are my requirements-
Budget : 15k
Form Factor : Compact/ pocketable
Lens focal length : 24mm at wide angle
Sensor : BSI CMOS
Video - at least 720p
Here is the problem: I am impressed with the F1.8 lens on Nikon P300 but not too much with the 1/2.33 sensor size which I find it quite average. I want the best my budget can get in terms of details and sharpness with max wide angle. Too sad I can't afford to get S95 or LX5. Guyz need ur suggestions. Sony HX9V, WX7 and Nikon S9100 are in my watch list but not particularly fond of their image samples I found on online reviews. Need the camera asap. Ur suggestions would be highly appreciated.
On the other hand, though out of my budget, I found Sony NEX 3 at 19500 which I think is a steal ( especially with the APS-C sensor). With the kit lens though, NEX 3 is far from pocketable and no one in Sony Center Bangalore knows where I can get the Pancake Lens. If I could find the pancake lens and its price at least, I may think to up the budget a bit and get the NEX 3.
