if budget is around 300$ and if i need an advanced cam, but for non professional use, which one would be the best of the season... nowadays i couldn't find much discussions on cameras like sony h5 or canon s3, s5 IS. which are the best models which have replaced them?
Canon sx100 or canon sx110
or any of the panasonic FZ/TZ series???
i think the only thing better in sx110 is that its 9MP instead of 8MP for
sx100 but if sensor size is same (tiny, really) is that any good???
what about sony H10? (similar specs as sx100 but in canon u can zoom in video too don't think u can do that in sony)
just my 2 rupees ;-)
points to consider:
- max budget: 300$
- videos will not be used heavily. hence more importance to shooting.
- prefered bigger and flexible LCD
- already have canon powershot a400 and hence sets of AA rechargeable batteries and charger, and 128 MB SD stick.
- 10x to 18x options available in cameras... for non-professional use, does it matter too much??? i guess the more, its better, but within budget i could find only panasonic. how about the brand value and ease of usage?
- similarly 36 mm to 27 mm wide angle - as a learner or beginner, i havent used all these, but would like to in future... so how much worth can i invest now?

Extreme zoom range will not be suitable for general use. Consider it only if you mean to use it for wildlife/sports/astronomy purposes. Further optical quality of ultra zoom lenses generally will be lower ( more distortions at the ends etc.). Finally, I think you will need to use a tripod for ranges like x15 or x18 even if the camera has IS.
^^if i had to take one from those , it would be the fz28 for me and the tz5 for my family
aren't you saying only cos of the enormous features??? what about the pic quality and ease of usage n all of these models compared to canon sony and nikon???
