Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50
If you want a superzoom that's truly your bridge to the realm of SLR cameras, it's got to be this one. With options like true manual focus, 12x optical zoom and excellent image stabilization is what makes this camera the best buy in its category.
Rs. 36,000 may put its price point at the same league as starter-level SLRs, but then, not everyone is open to high maintenance SLRs, when a superzoom like this one does everything with a lot more ease.
