What is best 8 MP digicam available in indian market?

Question

Features: Face detection, image stabalization, 4-5 optical zoom + good quality picture. Budget is within 8-14K rupees

Answer 1

Not sure what cameras are available in the Indian market, but the two cameras described below seem the best to me.  My camera is an HP M417 about five years old.  HP does not sell cameras now, but they still have a few refurbished bundles that might be a good buy.

My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes ... like magic. Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Ask what cameras they own. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner's manual.



Many of the new cameras come with only an LCD display. Would suggest that you find one that has an optical view finder because the LCD is almost impossible to see in bright sun.

This could be the best slim line!

FUJIFILM - FinePix 10.0-Megapixel Digital at $249  is more camera for the money.

Wide-angle shooting, a 12x optical zoom and picture stabilization mode combine in this camera for exceptional shooting performance, even at a distance. Plentiful scene modes, autofocus and automatic white balance controls make this camera a snap to operate. Life time Warranty (Parts & Labor)

The first link below will provide lots of information on most of the old and new cameras available today.

The second link will help you learn to clean the camera and battery contacts on any camera you buy. Digital Cameras require lots of power. If the contacts are not really good it can cause lots of problems.

If the A720 IS is too big for you,I recommend Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS although it might be expensive and has 10 megapixels.

Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS and Canon PowerShot SD890 IS are exactly the same cameras other than the name.
