It's 8MP, and it has 10x optical zoom... and much more. But you'll have to think this one out
10x zoom lens, optical image stabilization, PASM modes, good sharpness, well-implemented face detection, good macro mode, good battery life
Expensive, too large for a pocket, unreasonably high chromatic aberration, higher-than-acceptable noise content at higher ISO settings, LCD display washing out in bright light, long flash cycles
PowerShot SX100

How does it compare with SONY DSC H3? its also an 8MP, 10X optical zoom camera. Can you please provide the comparison? which is better in terms of specs, performance? obviously SONY is little cheaper having been priced at 15,990 INR
Please check & correct your self
A720 IS-- is 8 MP & street price is 9k an excellent choice.
Street price of SX-100IS is 12k- not 18.5k
However if one is to spend 12-13 k it is best spent on Panasonic TZ3 - more compact-with 10X zoom from wiide 28mm to 280 MM and better ratings.
Vijay ... there is a difference between 'Showroom' street price and 'parallel import' street price ... the prices you've quoted is parallel import price .... for which you dont get orignal canon warranty.
