5 Digital cameras under Rs 10,000

The entry-level digital camera segment is a lot different than what it used to be around a year ago. The best you could buy with a budget of Rs 10,000 was a compact point-and-shoot with 5x or 7x zoom lens. Today, for the same price you have many high-zoom models to choose from. Some of these combine manual shooting modes and full HD video recording. If you’re on a shoestring budget, you’ll be glad to know that you can now own the most basic digital camera for less than Rs 4,000 – the feature set includes at least a 12 MP sensor, 27 mm wide angle lens with 4x optical zoom and 720p video recording, not to mention most vendors include a 4GB memory card and a carry pouch.
