Sigma & Tamron alternatives are good but Nikon ones are best in terms of sharpness and all other things. Basically in case of lenses, the more you pay better you get. Nikon 70-300 is the best zoom lens in its range. I do not require more than 200mm for landscape photography. If you also think...

I understand your problem. Let me put some comments against your points and see if it can convince you or not. A. I do not take out the camera that much It is either due to lethargy for handling that heavy thing or the fear that it my break if used roughly. I know carrying a DSLR is...

Tripods are cheap if you can manage to bring it from US.

Low f numbers mean large aperture which means shallow depth of field. Also S95 has a good low light response. So this is a perfect P&S for portraits and macro photography. On the other hand, as it has a very low zoom, hence it is not so good for travel photos. Now it's your choice. For...

@Sujoyp Thanks for reply. As I like landscape photography, so that bag is enough for me. Separate flash units are not required, so I can use that place for another lens. I too have a 50 prime. Until now I was using kit 18-55 & 55-200 along with my brother's D3000. Now I bought my own D90 and...

A bit off-topic @sujoyp How is the quality of Tarmac bags? I am planning to buy Rally 4 (top loading). Do you have any idea that safety and longevity issues of top loading bags? Tamrac - Model 3444 - Rally 4 Camera Bag @Arnab boss Go for D3100 and keep any extra money for good lenses...

@Sujoyp You are correct. This seems better. I remember I was surprised to see the photos shot from this camera in flicker in recent past. It is highly recommended. Forget about tripod. I've seen very little instance of carrying tripod other than photography enthusiasts. Although it is always...

I personally like Canon P&S over others. For buying low budget cameras, IS (Image stabilization) is must. Megapixel doesn't matter so try to get lowest megapixel one which will save money. Check if you can find 3200 IS.

The megapixel and optical zoom in Point & Shoot cameras are simple marketing gimmicks. On zooming, the sharpness of the photo decreases drastically. Even it becomes very difficult to focus the object for a P&S camera. In DSLRs zooming is lot more easy and suffers very little drop in sharpness...

I do not understand why you are thinking about 2nd hand one when 1000D will come within your budget. I don't think it is time to opt for 2nd hand lenses as you will not be able to judge the problem it may have. That 18-55 kit lens will cover everything other than zoom. For budget constraints you...

Have you seen any photo shot from DSLR with kit lens? have you compared those photos with a P&S photo? See, the image sensor of even entry level DSLRs are much larger than highest P&S cameras and there is no comparison between them considering the depth & color representation. DSLRs are way...

Go for Corsair 400W @2700 + tax. Don't compromise on PSU.

^^Is the PSU available in Kolkata? I dont think so. If yes please tell me where?

The price of entry level DSLRs have gone down drastically - Nikon D3000 with 18-55mm lens - Rs. 21-22k. So I think there is no point going for digicams with a budget of 15k. DSLRs have large sensors and the image quality is far better. Stretch your budget and go for DSLRs. You can buy zoom...

The prices has gone down. AMD Athlon II x4 635 @ 4.3k Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4.1k Kingston 2 * 2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 4k WD 500GB Blue @ 1.75k excluding tax. These are all Kolkata prices.
