Hi Guys,
Iam looking for a point and shoot camera and below are my requirements in order of preference.
Looking to upgrade my Canon A610.
1) Pocketable. (No compromise. Should fit in my pocket. If it fits in jeans pocket, well and good)
2) Good indoor/low light photos. (My canon A610 is bad in this department. Thats the reason for upgrade)
3) Maximum Hand-held optical zoom. I wont use tripod. (Iam not sure what that number will be. Now, If there is a camera that can give 10x zoom when held in hand, good. If only 8x is possible in my budget, good even then. But more the better. My current camera has only 4x and it is NOT enough)
4) Budget : 10-15k (cheaper the better)
5) AA Batteries. (Good to have as I have a BIG AA battery pack and fast charger which I can reuse. But not absolutely necessary)
6) Look good/Availability is black. (I realised that I hate silver after getting my previous camera. Again not a necessary condition).
Video, HD, blah blah not required. No specific brand in mind.
Not an avid photographer, so need basic modes for portrait, landscape, night etc which I assume every camera has.
Onething I have learnt from buying TV is that, high end models of previous years are cheaper this year. Would like to explore that option too. No need for cutting edge technology for the frequency I take photos anyways.
