Most of the digital cameras in the market today are with 10 Mega-pixels resolution. The prices of these digital cameras depend mainly on the company that produced them. There are cheapest to most expensive still/video cameras available in India and somewhere in between are medium budget best deals to suit many photo enthusiasts.
Until last few years Digital Cameras were a prized possession of rich class people. With consumer electronics products going down in price every year and with increasing competition between the product makers, we now have a wide range of electronic products especially digital still cameras to choose from. It happens that whatever may be your requirement for the camera you are likely to find a camera suiting your needs within your budget. It does not matter whether you are looking for a camera in Indiaor trying to buy from foreign markets. It can turn out that net cost will be less on cheaper cameras if bought domestically.
The various specs of the digital camera such as resolution (mega-pixels), optical zoom (or digital zoom), display size (LCD), F number, focal length, focus range, battery life, in-build memory or external mem. support capacity, still/video capability, image formats, compression ratios, shutter speeds, aperture, auto/manual/smart modes, etc. are only few but most distinguished features of the cameras a buyer would look for. Other than this the brand such as Nikon, Canon, Sony, Kodak too make a large impact on the decision made by the buyer.
While the amateur photographer looks to buy a simple point and shoot camera, adventurous or professional photographer would look to buy very expensive DSLR type cameras with very convenient and advanced features that suit their profession. While there is a lot to capture from the nature around us, some clever photographers capture amazing photographs using point and shoot cameras which look like having a professional touch.
The high end digital cameras have extensive features that make the point and shoot cameras limited in their use. At the same time they are highly expensive costing from Rs. 28,000 to above Rs. 1 Lakh. Video cameras such as ones used in movies cost in multiples of lakhs. For a professional photographer looking for a good DSLR camera must budget about Rs. 50,000 atleast. Nikon and Canon are the most popular ones in this arena.
The medium end digital cameras targeting most of the Indian market are the point and shoot cameras. These can range in their features along with their price from as low as Rs. 3800 to as high as > Rs. 20,000. The limitation to the cost comes from the Display which costs atleast Rs. 1500. Kodak, Polaroid, BenQ, Olympus, Lumix, Panasonic, Fujifilm, Casio, Sony (Cybershot), Canon (Powershot), etc. are the popular brands in this arena.
While the cheapest yet good featured camera can be bought at Kodak’s CD14 in the range of 3400-3800 rupees, depending on the showroom or the city (Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai). The limitations to these cameras may be battery size (camera size) or the lesser shutter speed or less number of auto modes, they are still good for a variety of uses.
If one wants to for the cheapest range of cameras one should look for display-less cameras that are priced only for the camera use. SENSEI has the lowest cost digital still camera at Rs. 999 with 0.3 Mega-pixel resolution and higher resolutions (2MP) for higher costs. Polaroid offers some cameras but may not be available at any of the Indian stores. All cameras easily available in the market now are above 5MP resolution.
If you want to go expensive, you have no barrier. Every camera is worth it if you use it for right application. If you want to go inexpensive for a gift or personal use, don’t go below Kodak CD14 (Rs. 3400) unless Kodak launches new one below this price to beat this (they often do that and CD14 is the latest).

Ekta Pal Singh, Most of the digital still cameras also have the ability to capture video along with pictures. But the quality of the video can be much better if you use a digital video camera for capturing videos. The quality can be as best as that you see in movies or television. You won’t get that high quality with digital still camera. So the word digital camera mostly refers to still camera.
