Check ebay it there for Rs 26.5 from a reputed seller.If you have a coupon then you can get an off of 7% on that. Recharge a Vodafone number and you will have that coupon.

[digik]

600D+18-55+55-250 = 35k

D5100+18-55+55-200 will cost 40k

I had similar query as @jaimin100, so I went through the thread. You have suggested DSLRs from Nikon.

What is your opinion about CANON 1100D+with Double Lens Kit (EF-S 18-55mm IS II + EF-S 55-250mm IS II)? It is cheaper. Further, what I know Canon camera take very good low light photographs. Further, its capture speed is very good for moving objects like kids. Also, the LCD panel can be easily viewed at outdoors.

I am using Nikon Coolpix L1 for about 8 years. Moving kids are impossible to photograph. At outdoors the objects are barely visible on the LCD screen. Further, so far my knowledge is considered, Nikon focuses on professionals and so entry level persons does not have good treat.

I am also after an entry level DSLR. But, my prior experience with Nikon .... I am quite confused whether the Nikon models mentioned by you are free from the trouble faced with my point and shoot Nikon.

I seek your advice to remove my confusion.

 

[The Incinerator]

If you are moving up from point and Shoot 1100D is a good option and so is the Nikon D3100.

 

[sujoyp]

Hi digik ...in entry level segment I would always say that Nikon D3100 is better then canon 1100D ...I am using it for last 3 years...and I have no problem...Nikon D3100 have definitely better low light capability then 1100D,
capture speed- both can capture flying bird
LCD panel - when using a dslr we see everything through viewfinder, lcd panel is just to view settings and preview shots..soo dosnt matter much.

Nowdays canon nikon have almost same dslrs on same price brackets...its not true that canon is for entry level and nikon for professionals.

Both canon and nikon are equally good. just that the canon entry level offer of 1100D+twin lens combo and 600D +twin lens combo are better then nikon.

if you dont need zoom lens dont invest in that unnecesarily ...

after getting a dslr just learn how to shoot moving kids at high shutter speeds and u are done an 18-55 lens will be good enough for that

Price deal for 1100D is good. Not just Canon, with any DSLR you can make good low light images. Yes, DSLRs are fast. It doesn't mean compacts can't do that. If there is plenty of light you can do that with your L1. Yes, with DSLR it's little more convenient with OVF and you can get better images with higher sensitivity. As far as I know, most of the camera's LCD is not easy to view in the bright light.

Nikon focuses on professionals and so entry level persons does not have good treat.

Both the manufacturers do cater professional as well as amateur.

I am also after an entry level DSLR. But, my prior experience with Nikon .... I am quite confused whether the Nikon models mentioned by you are free from the trouble faced with my point and shoot Nikon.

Thanks @The Incinerator @nac @sujoyp for the useful advice.

That makes a point for nikon. Further, people say nikons colour rendering is better than nikon.

I will let you know after the purchase.

That'd me. I feel the Nikons are more honest, but I prefer slightly punchy colors of the Canon

 

[The Incinerator]

If you want Canon to be faithful choose the option called FAITHFUL in Picture Style...then and there you get a Nikon picture. Kidding everyone.

 

[sujoyp]

LOL ...nice one

 

[jaimin100]

sujoy bro i missed amazon offer.

right now
local shop offer 1100D with double lens @ 31.5K and 3 canon workshop.(so ultimately i got it around 28K)

but m really messed up in nikon d5100(on local store @same pric 31K & flipkart 28.6K)

after this week m going on faimily tour where i will get chance to do photography of wildlife. so nikon+18-55 ok?

or i go with canon?

i used both cameras but dont find much diffrence , and after lots of search i i see that canon is not good at low lighting means in diwali night its useless??

reply fast as possible

 

[sujoyp]

I see that you have already missed most offers on DSLR.

wildlife with 18-55 is impossible...you need some kind of zoom lens to do wildlife..

Yup in diwali maybe high ISO will be useful..but high ISO difference between these DSLR is just 10%..daytime pic quality is almost similar.

D5100+kit lowest is 28k , 600D combo is 37k 1100D combo is 30k ...hmm all prices are up now ..

Get the 1100D combo for now...maybe you can upgrade the DSLR after 1 year

 

[jaimin100]

bro next year nit. possible I cant afford 2 dslr

what about low lightning in canon?

 

[sujoyp]

you have to sell off your 1100D for 10k and get a new DSLR in any case that combo deal is great

18-55 cost 6k
55-250 cost 12k
1100D will cost 12k only thats nice deal I would say

you can not run away from flash in low light...else use long exposure...thats keep you cam somewhere stable and then click..we all do it like that

Rubbish. Not being a fanboy, but I have SEEN that its generally the opposite at this range. My 600D is definitely better than the D5100 in Low light - albeit only by a little bit. In anycase its not a make or break thingy. Check my flick feed if you still doubt it.

Wildlife photography needs longer focal lengths.
