Please suggest me camera within 350$ (going to buy through US friend )with atleast 10x optical zoom,it should not be too much bulky.I going to use it for only beaches or on trips. NO professional use.
I saw nikon s10 & canon s3 which one good one?
Can anyone suggest me cameras not less that 10x optical zoom?
By the way what is IS100 ,IS 400 ?
Is it required to check for genral purpose use?
