Well if you are buying this kind of camera, please look for the latest models as digital cameras are ever changing. So the moment you buy one you will know it will be old in few months. That is the status of any electronic device. So don’t wait if you are planning to buy one.
Only thing you should take good note while you buy any such device is that it shouldn’t be made in China. Even though it is from a reputed brand. I faced this issue in a hard way. My Sony DSC-W50 is made in Japan. Maybe that is why it is running fantastic. My Sony portable all in one audio system has gone bad within a year which was bought in the US and this was made in China. So simply don’t buy any Chinese manufactured stuff. They are of poor quality.
