people will not let you even touch the camera during wedding. They'll keep you super busy. Phone selfies are your best bet

Need some suggestions on a cam... Budget is Upto 50k. I'm looking at the Sony a6000

Did you post this few years back and due to some kinda glitch it gets posted now?
Fuji/Panny/Oly are either expensive and/or not widely available in our market. Leaving you with the choice of Canon/Nikon/Sony. You being a a6000 user, you most likely to lean on that side (Sony MILC).
It's upto the user which one he/she wants to use. If 50k is just for the start, you have 3 choices
750D
D5500
a6000

Sadly in India I see very low penetration of mirrorless. Its like selling mini crossovers in India like brezza creta, a show off concept. People want to buy DSLR and look professional, nobody want to get a cam which looks like P&S
I think the time will change only when Nikon and canon decides to release mainstream mirrorless.
ex- one of my manager bought a D5200 after asking me to take baby pics. I told them at that time that you have to buy a cheap flash and a 35mm or 50mm lens. But they forgot the later part due to money constraints. Now they say that I bought them a costly toy which they cant use . I told them even at that time to get a Sony RX100-2

If I had 50k in my hand I will go for Nikon D610 used

If the buyer haven't used ILC before, give yours for couple of days. Let him try it and ask him to try DSLR too. And see if this little experience is of any help to him to decide.
@sujoyp
Yeah, FF for 75-80k is a wonderful deal.
If I have 50k, I will be banging by head which one to pick. Nikon or Canon? Entry level or mid range? New or used?

He he... So i followed the advise and got him to use my cam and a D5200 for some time. He finally went for the a6000 due to the ease of carrying and ability to install apps and stuff. Says image quality is almost the same (wo post processing)
Finally got a a6000 + 50-210mm lens at 57k

If I get a chance to start fresh I would also go with Sony..but I am invested in Nikon now and will be there till I am rich enough to jump. I will have to bear huge loss for sure coz of fungus in mumbai. I spent almost 2 lakhs and would not be able to recover even 1 lakh it seems by selling it.

If I get a chance to start fresh, I would go with Fujifilm. Their lenses and the image processing backend is simply amazing (I think they still use the same sensors as the Sony counterparts). Otherwise, I would go with something like Ricoh GR II, a compact and capable camera.

We dont have the options here...in india I dont know even if there are proper service centers for any camera company other then nikon canon and sony.

True that. I'm also thinking of going completely retro and buying Nikon F4S on ebay. I don't think anything can go wrong with a tried and trusted film camera. As for service, I guess Nikon and Canon are more "professional" compared to Sony. It will take ages to get something like the IR filter replaced from Sony; one of my friend tried, and they replaced the whole sensor assembly and handed him a 15K bill.

One thing I noticed that when travelling with your wife, you need to keep the weight as low as possible. My D7000 with 35mm becomes 1.2 KG which seems heavy now, but actually its my lightest combo. That day I took D7000+17-50 combo and it was feeling soo cumbersome now. Going out for photography is solely different thing, travelling with wife is much different.
Now I understand the advantage of a Mirrorless+prime lens. Will keep this in my list now. A nice mirror less with 35mm 1.8 will be what I want now

He he... Who thought that marriage would make Sujoy turn into a mirrorless fan.
Even during traveling its a pain to have a heavy combo. You'll eventually end up carrying the lightest kit you can.

Actually I keep the DSLR in wife's handbag, and she keeps on complaining how heavy it is
