If you’ve been a regular at Tech2, you’ve probably figured by now how much importance we give to camera zoom over megapixel count. We’ve done numerous articles about zoom levels and how you can use them to your advantage.
The problem is that most phones with high zoom levels tend to be high even in their prices. So in case you’re looking for more than the standard 3x optical zoom and don’t intend on paying a lot for it, here are three great cameras you can get for under Rs. 15,000.
Fuji Finepix S5700
Our recent review fetched this camera a great score of 4.5 out of 5 stars for its excellent performance at a humble price. Even though the biggest USP of the camera is its 10x optical zoom, just about everything was top notch. It has a grip you will love clinging to, and it weighs very little despite packing in four AA batteries. Moreover, the image quality too was impressive overall, with great colors and good detail levels. But the best part about the S5700 was definitely its amazing battery life. Very highly recommended at its price of Rs. 12,990.
