Top 5 cameras under Rs. 20,000

The market, these days is full of cameras catering to all budgets. More importantly, the kind of cameras being launched, these days is such that even those who've never played around with a digital camera before, can still find their way around, quite easily with above-mid-range point and shoot cameras, further broadening a manufacturer's audience base. It also presents photography enthusiasts with an opportunity to hone their skills. With features being the most crucial factor among various cameras, brands tend to add a lot of them in their products.Here is a look at the top cameras ranging from Rs.15,000 to Rs.20,000

 

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX55 – Rs. 17,899

If the price is not an issue and style is your thing, then the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX55 is a no brainer. This camera oozes style, class and functionality and the best feature about it is that it is the world’s slimmest camera, measuring at just 12mm at its thinnest point. This camera acts as a style statement for those who own it and it is so tiny, that it can easily fit into one’s pocket or purse. While the main feature of this camera remains its slim profile, Sony has not neglected the task of adding other features in it, making it seriously competitive. The TX 55 features a 16.2MP CMOS sensor as well as a 5x optical zoom lens. A neat feature of this lens is that can use up to 10x Clear Image Zoom without reducing the pixel count or lowering the image quality or sharpness. A large 3.3-inch OLED display adorns the rear of the camera and all features of this camera can be accessed using this touchscreen interface. AVCHD Full HD video recording, 3D image capture and the ability to capture images, while recording are some of the other interesting features found here.

Olympus SZ-30MR – Rs. 20,000
When one thinks of superzooms they usually associate it with cameras that are fairly large and sport the bridge camera look. Olympus changed this concept when they launched their stylish SZ-30MR, a travel compact with a 24x lens that has a focal range that can compete with superzoom cameras. With the focal length of 25 – 600mm, one can conveniently capture images of subjects that are far off, with ease, without the excess weight that comes with bridge cameras. The SZ-30MR features a 16MP CMOS sensor that shoots images at a resolution of up to 4608 x 3456. The iAuto mode is more than sufficient for capturing images in most light settings, so people who do not want to play around with any settings can just capture images on the fly. The camera also has a 3D mode, a Magic mode with 8 filters, a panorama mode and the ability to record videos in full HD 1080p.
