sathya_1979, when I was on the lookout for a new cam, a few friends strongly recommended this site and it's suggestions. You could check if that helps you.
சத்யா... கேமரா உங்களுக்கா? இல்லை அன்பளிப்பாக யாருக்காக கொடுக்கவா? உங்களுக்கு என்றால் Digital SLR வாங்க முனையுங்களேன். ஏனெனில் இதுபோல இருநூறு, முந்நூறு டாலர்களில் வாங்கிப் பழகும் போது, ஒரு சில வருடங்களிலேயே Digital SLR வாங்க ஆசைப்படுவீர்கள். அதை இப்போதே ஒரே சந்தர்ப்பத்தில் அடைந்து விடுங்கள். புகைப்படக் கலையில் இப்போதிருந்தே உங்களது ஈடுபாட்டை துவங்கி, வெகு சீக்கிரமாகவே குறைந்த பட்ச நிபுணத்துவம் அடைந்து விடலாம். By the way, are you planning to buy during thanks giving sale?
I am interested in Photography Venki (oNNiyum theriyaadhu, adhu vEra vishayam ). Ya, planning to buy before Nov end this year, as I have couple of trips lined up in Dec. Thanks, will search for SLR as well. One of my friends who is an expert in wild life photography had suggested DSLR. So, need to check it out. Thanks sir!
Need advice, suggestions and inputs for buying a Digicam - Budget $200 to 300.
Sathya, I bought a Nikon D3100 earlier this year. It is an excellent camera at an affordable price. But LM also has a point, I haven't used it as much as I would have liked to. For quick snaps, point and shoot cameras are the best, SLR's are kinda bulky to operate.
If you want a compromise between both (or in other words best of both worlds), you can go for mirrorless SLR camera. It is a still developing market but the reviews I read have been positive. One of my colleague got a Sony camera and he liked it very much.
SLR is best when you are really dedicated to taking pictures or keen on learning photography. The problem with me was I was both keen and lazy at the same time, so I ended up buying a SLR and not using it.

LM has a point. The Semi-SLR cameras, as they are fondly called are a better bet.
Major plus point being HD video capability. Also, less of bulk.
Also live view, comes with most Beginner-level SLRs, not in the classic ones like D70 or Canon Rebel versions.
Apart from that, they have a multipurpose lens with a good range. Instead of a kit-lens or maybe even another telephoto lens could possibly offer in an SLR. Out-of-the-box, these semi-SLRs can give you a greater capability to shoot.
Panasonic Lumix has a Z series. They are the best in the class.
Nikon P500 and Canon Powershot G are other options.
In Venkkiram's line of thought, if you think on buying a SLR if you get into the rage, maybe you can go for inexpensive solution Kodak Z series cameras. They retail around 10k INR.
