Raj, I don't know where did you order your camera. But ebay have a nice offer and seller is reliable too, so I would suggest to get it. It's under 28k (with coupon) and you can opt for 3 month EMI @ 0% interest and no processing fee (up to my knowledge).

@Sujoy Sorry to disappoint :oops:

@nac Actually we had a sudden plan to visit Gangtok, and one of my friends already had the sx50. So I decided to use the money in traveling, I am planning to get it in feb though. :)

Please mind that I've shot them in RAW and some sort of post-processing (Not Photoshopped) was done with almost all of them. Files were compressed before I posted them here. Hope you guys like them :)

Pretty good pics I'd say, specially the first few ones like the bird on the roof, or the mountains, the moon(love that zoom), a few pics however lack sharp focus, like the parrot, the goat, the red flower, but overall, good job, now post a few pics here: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/cameras-camcorders/118227-photography-thread-235.html

The parrot shot I took while I was in a vehicle, and also it's cropped so I'd say that's job well done :p But yeah, I need to learn. There are a few other shots, I just can't get enough time to go through them all this week. Will post the pics on the other thread given by tkin asap :)

BTW what would you correct in the flower composition?

The correct flower composition will be from side ways or sideways and slightly top...but not very close....the background, and stems increase the beauty of the flower

K guys, I am back :p
However all this time got me extra time to think this through.. I am really considering a DSLR. What about Nikon 5100?? Come on guys fire away :D

Also if you think fz200 is better than d5100 let me know.

Oh, hell no. D5100 is waaaaaay better.

Just look at the cost, a full 5100 setup with 3 lenses(macro, 18-55, and tele) will cost you around 50k? While the FZ200 goes for around half of that. The only advantage FZ200 has over D5100 is speed, portability and ease of use.

But what about the image quality, it has almost 14 times bigger sensor? I can live on 18-55 mm for now, and maybe get a telephoto in 6 months time. I am not sure..

Umm, that's what I meant, in pure IQ D5100 is in a completely different league than FZ200, or any bridge cam.

lols.. I read this the other way around :p. Thanks.
Anyways, the reason why I'm considering this is I used sx50hs and I don't think I'll be satisfied by the image quality it provides. The problem is that I rarely do portraits.. Won't the 18-55 mm lens be good enough for most stuff? I think I can really use a DSLR.. But can't spend more than 30k now.. :-(
