How is Nikon D3200 24MP camera with 18-55mm VR lens for 34k?
And Nikon D5100 16MP WITH 18-55mm VR LENS for 34.5k?
And Nikon D5100 16MP WITH 18-55mm VR LENS for 34.5k?

Care to explain why?
What makes you think Nikon>Canon?
Is it because serious looking desi photographers mostly carry Nikons(mostly D90)?
@op,buy a 550D with kit lens,save up a bit and get the 50mm,thats it!

Why Nikon D5100? How it is better than nikon D3200 with same sensor but 24MP?
D3200 is of 33k and D5100 is of 34.5k on ebay.
Canon eos 550d is of 29.4k but its an old model, I think i should avoid it.
And I read Nikon DSLRs don't have in-built focus motor how would it effect?

Nikon Or Canon - Which do you prefer?
if you are interested (now or in the future) of taking a lot of photos using flash instead of natural light, then go with Nikon.
Nikon has done a great deal of work to ensure that their cameras communicate well with their flashes - something Nikon calls the "Creative Lighting System" or CLS for short.
With relatively little fussing, you can quickly set up three independent wireless light sources, and you're able to control the amount of light output from each flash directly from the camera.
While you can certainly achieve the same effects with a Canon digital SLR it takes more gear, costs more and doesn't have quite the same plug-and-play simplicity of the Nikon system.

D3200 doesn't have lot of impressive features than D5100. Don't fall for MP count.
D5100
Better battery life, ISO performance, bracketing, better sensitivity, articulated screen
vs
D3200
better processor, MP and I think it's little better in video.
And I really doubt it's high ISO performance coz of higher MP count.
Fill-in if I am missing something...

hi guys i am new to this thread, recently bought D5100 with 18-55 lens kit for 36.5 K (haven't checked online earlier as it would be around 35 K).
the question now is what type of lens you think essential to cater for different needs, i mean the stuff you must buy for any practical utilization of the camera.
i am a basic user and don't know much about this category.
thanks for any suggestion in advance.

bro that totally depend on ur budget and requirements...but if u need suggestions like we call it VFM and a popular choice then i will give some
nikon 18-55 good enough for parties and landscapes
nikon 55-300 vr or nikon 70-300 vr for birding and some zoom always comes useful.
Nikon 35mm1.8 and 50mm 1.8 or nikon micro 40mm 2.8 any of them for potrait and creative shots
Tamron 17-50 f2.8 non VC is a lens that advance people replace there 18-55 with..
Tamron 90mm macro lens is hugely popular macro lens if money is not the concern nikon 105mm 2.8 micro VR AFS lens is among the best in market.
A dedicated wide angle lens can be sigma 10-20 or tokina 11-16
And dont wait to collect enough money to buy a nikon flash...just buy a cheap one from ebay.com ...i bought it for 2800 and its worth every penny
if possible get a cheap tripod too from start...do take care of ur gear on it but any tripod helps or else u will miss all the slow shutter speed things like night photography,light trail etc

550D is a legendary camera! And now recently I saw it selling for around 25K Makes it a no brainer in the league. couple it with 50mm and you are still left with 3-4K money.
D3100 is a great camera but somehow lacks on geek features (exposure bracket, live preview) and if you think that you can do without them it should be a great pick! couple it well with a 50mm and you are all set to go! Pick any camera but yeah learn how to handle it first without which even 1Dx will be insufficient!

thanks for the reply, as you said i need suggestions in VFM only as i have already exhausted my budget. and i'll wait before spending on the lens as it needs substantial sum. any way and i am little confused as three lens "Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G (4.3x) Lens (Telephoto Zoom Lens) Rs.5999/-", "Tamron AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro (for Nikon Digital SLR) Lens (Standard Lens) Rs.8490/-" and "Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens (High Power Zoom Lens) Rs.19550/-" seems similar to me at the outset and price wise vastly different.
is it worth waiting and having the last one instead of going for the cheapest of them all the first one as it would give me the range i need after my 18-55 stock lens.
and for the 35mm, 40mm and 50mm you mentioned for which purpose they suit better than the 18-55mm one.
i am planning to buy a tripod as you suggested and did some search online and found "Slik F133" to be within my budget what do you think of the choice does it hold good for my D5100 with different lenses.
and for the flash i haven't checked them yet and 2800 bucks for flash seems little over my range as of now (i may spend even further after couple of months)
thanks a lot once again for the reply

nikons af 70-300 is a bad lens
tamron 70-300 is better then this...but it doesnt have vibration reduction soo its very difficult to use it even in evening or low light
Nikon 55-300 vr is a good lens...no issues in this
nikon 70-300 vr is even better then this and maybe slightly costlier then 55-300
specific 35mm 40mm and 50mm r very useful in portrature photography..but maybe need some more practice.
check the specs of tripod...even if u get a cheap one dont keep ur gear alone on it...always keep strap around ur neck and use on cheap tripods..
flash u can buy a cheap one from ebay.com or if u want standard get metz or nissin
