Got myself a new camera. . !

It finally boiled down to 4 cameras which fitted my budget (INR 10000) and criteria (with standard AA batteries). But then they needed further comparison to come to conclusive decision.

Here is my tabulation of the technicals :

Model	FujiFilm FinePix S2950	Nikon Coolpix L110	Canon sx130 IS	Olympus SP-610UZ
Battery	AA	AA	AA	AA
Mpx	14	12.2	12	14
Optical zoom	18	15	12	22
Apperture Priority	Aperture Priority	Non Aperture Priority	Aperture Priority	Non Aperture Priority
Stabilization	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Full Manual mode	No	No	Yes	No
Size	Bridge	Compact	Compact	Bridge
Price	9000	10500	10000
	Good Value for Money		My Choice

Since I preferred a compact camera with a full manual controls I selected the Canon-SX-130-IS. However I need to mention that Fujifilm FinePix S2950 is a good value for money. Handling wise canon is much stable and IS (image stabilization) is also working fine.

Watch this blog for the results of this camera. I must say the results are encouraging.

My Next Digi-Cam (May be)

While I would like to have a Digital SLR so that I can just go blast with photography but till the time I am learning to get better in the photgraphy I feel this one is good value for money.

Its a Fujifilm FINEPIX. Reason I find it attractive is it has following feature of SLR in a point and shoot digicam.

That is
Aperture Priority
Shutter Priority

and also additional ISO Sensitivities of ISO 800/1600/3200 (good for sports mode)

Dubai Traffic . . . !

This is another night photo. Usually you would expect a good long streek of light on 2sec exposure while here the traffic is such a stand still the camera have picked the headlights as if they are posing for the photo. . . .
