Most of the Tech Gurus believed that Multimedia mobile phones with built-in cameras would effect in sales of cameras, especially digital ones. However, the output results of cameras (provided with these mobile phones) were not up to – the – mark. Moreover, the true photography fans never liked the interface provided with these phones. Moreover, not a single mobile phone can provide optical zoom function in its camera. Hence, the sales figures of digital cameras reached the new heights in a very short span of time. Here is a review – list of top 10 point and shoot cameras available in India with their basic features and price.
