Guyz urgent help needed want to buy a DSLR under 30k in 2 days

[divya magvani]

PLz ayuclack,nac,sujoyp all u guyz pls help me quickly i want to buy dslr under 30k in next 2 days or so,
i have shortlisted two brands canon & nikon now under my budget i have got 1100d and 600d from canon, and d3100,d3200 and d5100 from nikon.

canon 1100d is not at all worth it due to its plasticky feel so only 600d is an option from canon.

in nikon d3100 cost me 24000 with kit lens andboth the d3200 and d5100 costs me 31000rs with kit lens so after spending 5-6k more i can get better bodies so i have shortlisted nikon d3200 and d5100 from nikon.

my preference is: best photos , video does not matters much.

i prefer:
canon 600d- ergonomics
nikon d5100-low light and better control
nikon d3200- newer sensor and 24mp

pls help me guyz ASAP coz wanna buy dslr in next two days , thanks in advance

Try D5100 and 600D in a local camera shop and buy the one you like. Both are good cameras, it's a matter of preference.

 

[divya magvani]

wat about d3200 it has got newer sensor,24mpix,and guide mode what do u think bout it against d5100!!

 

[nac]

Just that it has extra buttons and knobs. And I don't give weightage to MP and guide mode.

 

[sujoyp]

yes nac have suggested right...

other than the factors mentioned if u need better video recording then go for 600D ...both D5100 and 600D are very similar and would perform equally....just handle both and get the one suits ur hand , the feel and the grip.

problem is with the lens...I saw that the person is using a prime lens and the aperture he selected on top screen shows f1.8...soo a lens lke 50mm 1.8 or 35mm 1.8 can perform like the video shows but ur kit lens can not coz kit lens start from f3.5 of f4

 

[divya magvani]

so u mean to say my dslr works perfectly??

yes at time of focusing the thing shown in video does not happen but after taking shot we can clearly see the subject which is in focus and which is out of focus

THANK U VERY MUCH I DONT HAVE WORDS TO DESCRIBE TO U I THOGUHT SINCE I BOUGHT IT FOR 30000 with 2 yr warranty if there will be any problem then what will happen??

btw i got body+lens+riyo 52mm mc-uv filter+scratch guard+nikon leather bag+ 4gb memory card also from very first day i started to shoot in M mode!! is it okay??

 

[raja manuel]

M mode is what the DSLR is for, actually. You won't need the UV filter, and I'm not sure if you need the scratch guard either. The 4GB memory card is most probably Class 4, if you plan to do video work you will need to upgrade to Class 10.

 

[sujoyp]

@divya first congrats for the purchase...and dont worry DSLR have lots of terminologies which u will learn as u practice...

M mode is fine if you actually know what you are doing...else like i said to many newbies....learn from auto settings...take a shot in auto , check the exif details ...see whats the aperture, what shutter speed and then put the same settings manually and tinker them for result of ur choice ...thats how i learnt

 

[nac]

Congrats for the purchase.

Good to see a first time DSLR user using manual mode.
