Hi all,

I'm planning to buy the Panasonic Lumix FZ150, and the only place on the internet that has this is ColoPhotoShop.com, based in Mumbai... I just want to verify the credentials of the store and if I should go for it?

They are quoting Rs.24,200 for the camera, and I believe Panasonic announced the MRP somewhere in the 27K range, so I'm pretty impressed with the pricing. I spoke to someone from their service line and I was told that they would have it in stock on Saturday and I can confirm the stock before I order. The item is listed in the link below:
Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ150 Digital Camera - Colo Photo Shop

Any other suggestions or shall I go for this?

Thanks!
Prav
 
DSLR CANON EOS 1100D - Colo Photo Shop

Why not go for a DSLR instead? The Canon EOS 1100D seems a better option to me. The only place it lacks is the movie mode with a max resolution of 1280 x 720 v/s the Panasonics 1920 x 1080 pixels.
It costs just a few bucks more - Rs.27,149.
But find out why it's priced differently from :
DSLR CANON EOS 1100D IS - Colo Photo Shop
Both seem to be the same, but are priced differently. I think the website may have wrong info there.

You could also buy if from letsbuy with different freebies - Buy Canon DSLR EOS 1100D With 18-55mm IS II Kit at Best Price in India - Also find Specifications, Photos, Features & Reviews
Plus you can apply discount coupons on letsbuy and get atleast a Rs.1000 discount.

Looked, but couldn't find the Panasonic in stock anywhere else, sorry.
 
FZ150 is THE best bridge cam in my personal opinion. I was also gonna buy it last month but it was not available and I couldn't wait any longer. So I bought Sony HX100V for 19.5k - the next best option (again IMO)

I was looking at DSLRs, just they seem like a lot of work.. LOL... not a good excuse, but I thought I'd rather lug around one large camera than one large camera and one or more lenses (which I WILL be tempted to buy)

Again no excuse, but I thought that a Bridge Ultrazoom is just a lot easier to handle.. LOL...

So, how does the HX100V do it for you, just asking... I will in all probability go for the FZ150...

BTW, any other mumbaikars out there to vouch for Colo Photo??
 
I called up ColoPhotoShop and they said they don't have the FZ150 in stock nor do they have any idea when they will get it.
