26k....but is letsbuy.com good & trusted?

Before Buying Nikon DSLR Pls. visit Nikon India Private Limited and check the Warranty Clauses. letsbuy.com(Etree marketing) is not listed as authorized Nikon dealer.

I am also planing to buy Nikon DSLR D5100. I am now buying from Nikon authorized dealer...I go a deal for 37K thats D5100 + 18-55mm VR Kit lens + 4Gb Card + Nikon leather Bag + Kenko UV Filter + Cleaning kit + Bill with Vat paid and Warranty 2 +1.

Congo...do post a review of it...

 

[sujoyp]

yaah the deal looks good..lets wait for ur hands on review

Today evening, I went to the dealer...there was just 1 Nikon D5100 & 2nos D3100 left out of the 13 DSLR. There was one customer in the showroom who was very much in need of DSLR as it was his daughter's 1st Birthday on 14th August.

He requested me to swap the booking details as his DSLR was arriving on 19th August 2011. I agreed to swap the booking as I could feel his emotions.

Guys, You will need to wait for more 8 days for review.

Why is there so much craze for D5100??? Today,Canon 550D price dropped by 1K as per the dealer and its available in every store in Goa..But D5100 & D3100 is on booking...This thing i noticed in Bangalore too (GK Vale, Croma, Ezone, Staples)

In india people think nikons r for pros and canons r cheap toys

but actually canon sells more DSLRs then nikon all over the world...and there L catagory lens r just too good..

But if I had the money I would have got canon 550D..but the price difference was 12k at that time between D3100 and 550D

Canon & Nikon Both are good DSLR Camera's. The Image quality depends on the lens and not on the body. Price wise both are neck to neck when u compare Nikkor lens with Canon L series Lens.

The Canon Std(18-55mm) Kit lens is bit low in terms of IQ as compared to Nikon(18-55 VR). Canon has issue with Color fringe and lens distortion for kit lens.

It looks that the prices differ greatly between cities. At hyderabad, the lowest quote is 38.5 K with bag and 4GB card

Q: whats the max video recording time of D3100?does it depend on memory card size?
Q: can we flip the LCD in D3100 just like D5100?

 

[sujoyp]

and answer on 1st page , 2nd post by Sujoy

Ok some advice from a 6 month D3100 DSLR user

video recording time will be limited..its not like u would record a 15mins video.

U will need to purchase a class 10 memory card

dont try video recording with kit lens ..its not worth...

Just kidding
Its time you should buy camera, you will learn much faster once you sttart using it
