Rs 10,000

Read Techtree's detailed review on it here.
If features are what you are looking, S6500 ought to be on your list. This camera has in built Wi-Fi to transfer photos, and many filters for you to play with. Couple that with good image quality, good range of colours and fast continuous shooting, and you’ve got quite a deal in one package. Keep in mind that this 16MP camera with 12x optical zoom does suffer a bit from sluggish focus speed.

The camera supports panoramic shots, and is powered by 4 AA batteries which is a bit of a turn off.

Don't forget to spend a few more hundreds on a set of rechargeable batteries though.
