New camera

We're hoping to buy a new camera. While was advocating a dSLR, they are really expensive. A basic kit (body + 18-55mm zoom) prices begin from Rs 28,500, but more lenses cost just as much, making a fully equipped kit cost close to 1 lakh, a price I can't afford now.
So, the alternative was to buy a super-zoom. Though I mockingly call them the 'dSLR wannabe' segment, they do sport nice zoom lenses, say from 28-560mm, i.e. a 20x zoom. Their picture quality isn't bad either, and their optical image stabilization helps make up for the not-so-fast lenses and ISO settings. (They do have ISO settings commonly upto 3200, but noise makes one stick to values below 800.) They end up being complete packages, and have no further upgradation costs as opposed to SLRs.

This is the camera I'm looking at right now, the Canon Powershot SX20 IS, which comes at an MRP Rs 25,990.
