Digi-Cam quest

I went to JJ Mehta Photography Store (www.jjmehta.com) at Dadar to buy a digicam, some thing which I've been trying to buy for a long time.... They dint have any sasta Nikon Models... My budget was 7-8k max... So I check out the Sony S40 Cybershot costing 8k ... If I spend 2k more I would get the chargers and 256 memory stick, I was ok with that pricing too... but the guy wanted 4% extra for using credit card.... I was like WTF, DinDahadey loot..... he asked if I had ICICI wire transfer and I could deposit it to save the 4%, What a moron .. If I had the funds I wouldn't be using... even if I had I would have still preferred my ICICI credit card.....
 
So here's is my roadmap....
1. Check out comparative pricing of 7-8k range Nikon,Sony Digi-cam on Froogle.
2. visit Alfa at Irla (The best place for imported goods in Bombay)
3. Contact someone who is coming to India from the Gulf.
 
 
I also had vadas and Samosa at SriKrishna next to the shop... the Vadas was nothing great, I guess once a shop becomes popular they compromise big time of taste and quality....
Its like Bhel Puri's on Juhu beach.... sabse bakwas, local Bhaiyaa rocks any day.....

    I agree Sat! The vada from SriKrishna is no more gr8 these days! Even I had it 7-8 days back and felt the same.... when the place bcms popular.. the quality goes down. This is the case even with Kunj Vihar @ Thane! The quality of Vada is no more what it used to be 2-3 yrs. back!
    ....The local bhaiyya rocks any day!

    ye manzilien : u can try bade miya (behind Taj) & Ayub for kababs (opp Yellow gate)..
    for goof Biryani you can try Delhi Darbar (opp Modegar), Cafe Noorani (opp Crossroads) and Cafe Shaheen (VT) :))
    Alternatively you can venture out on Mohd. Ali Road, Vt area ..evenings the streets are fullof goodes, malpuas, kababs,boti, ragads, kulfi's etc
