Top 5 Digicams Under Rs. 20,000

They say its not the camera that makes a good picture, but the photographer behind it. I say that having a good camera in front of that talented photographer can make a world of a difference. If you've had enough of that budget point-and-shoot camera and think you're ready for a camera which will give you more control and will offer you better features overall, then you're reading the right guide.

We have featured what we think are the best cameras in their respective categories, and cost less than Rs. 20,000. So you can not only select the right model, but also the right type of camera in your next upgrade. Check it out!

Canon Digital IXUS 65
Its cute, its small and its very functional. The 6 megapixel Canon Digital IXUS 65 is a cute little camera, roughly the size of a candybar mobile phone, that's capable of taking some pretty good quality shots. The small form doesn't come in the way of taking great shots as the camera boasts fast speed and a great 3 inch LCD screen to help out with your compositions.

All this can be yours at a street price of Rs. 16,500.
