Top 5 Cameras Under 12k
By: Laiq Qureshi   |   May 06, 2007
If you are looking to buy a camera under Rs 12,000, it would be wise not to be smitten by the new technologies you see labeled on new cameras these days. Honestly, for you point-and-shoot freaks, there is a lot to choose from in the entry-level category. And the list just keeps growing every month. So we did the homework for you. Just pick one.

Canon A550


For those who are using the A530, adapting to the Canon A550 won’t be that big a hassle. Although, an entry-level point and shoot, this camera is capable of producing some good pictures (of course, you need to tweak the camera settings a little to click good snaps). It is a 7.1 megapixel camera with 4 x optical zoom and a 2-inch LCD screen. It also boasts of a DIGIC II image processor for enhanced performance and is just an upgrade to the A530.

can you please let me know where and how I can get canon a550 at your quoted street price of Rs. 8600 instead of Rs. 12000 that most shops are quoting
Debiprosad Duari @ May 17, 2007
The best in this category. I have used it for a while and find that It's not only a great camera in terms of performance but has outstanding features, especially at this price. However I don't think the price given above is close enough to its' retail price. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful date which comes pretty cheap!
