Recently, I came across a post in another forum where the OP asking "Camera for beginners"... He was suggested



It really makes sense (at least to me).

You have very nice budget, with little more you could buy a full frame DSLR. Are you sure wanna dispose the whole 100k even before knowing the world of DSLR and photography?

myself used P&S for almost 3 yrs..

now want to venture into DSLR..
my dilemma ...after reading many websites and discussing with many friends i can not come into any conclusion ..what to buy..
what i have seen into my friends..all are dissatisfied with the camera what they have purchased at the first time..the dSLR..

what i want to invest is for future proof..for myself atleast..
i do not want to change the body of the dSLR with in 3 yrs..
so i want to go for a higher range.

for this i have increased my budget..

kept it 1 lakh..

lets see what comes..

will choose within that

wow u have budget of 1 lakh for 1st DSLR....rather then suggesting you a costly DSLR I would give u choices


Nikon D5100 -32k
Tamron 17-50 f2.8 Non-VC - 22k
Nikon 70-300 AFS VR - 25k
Tamron 90mm Macro - 22k

you can drop one of zoom or macro lens and get
Benro A500+BH2 ball head tripod - Rs 8000 Gaffarbhai and Sons » A500FBH2
Nissin Di622 Mark II Flash - Rs.8000 Nissin Di622 MARK II (For Nikon) Flash | Flash | Flipkart.com

And if u can get a good camera bag from lowepro or tamrac etc
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if u want to spend on the best consumer dslr now then get Nikon D7000

D7000 body 58k
Tamron 17-50 2.8 Non VC - 22

u have 20k left ...u can spend on zoom lens,macro lens or tripod bag filter what ever u want to start with


In case people r thinking i forgot 50mm 1.8 AFS for D5100 .... if he gets 17-50 f2.8 then in most cases he wont need it..

thank you..
nice suggestion..

one question..after using canon P&S .my mind still into canon..

can you suggest me one alternative like what you have said here ..with canon dSLR ..please..

advance thank you

Have you considered the Fujifilm X100 mirrorless?
Fujifilm FinePix X100 Mirrorless: Camera Review, Price in India, Compare: Flipkart.com

With your budget, I think it makes a lot of sense

Hi all,

I want to buy my first DSLR, till last 2 years i have been using P&S Canon SX210IS and have been experimenting with some manual settings. My usage will portrait, night/low light and nature photography.

I have sorted Nikon D5100 D3200 and Canon 600D. please advice whcich one to go for ? also please tell me how much difference does it make, as i have heard that nikon cameras (Above mentioned) do not have built in auto-focus motor and IS?

Also shoud i buy combo of multiple OR first begin with kit lens and then proceed further.

very good lens....love the sharpness

Hi Have you considered the Sony Alpha SLT A37?
It's available for 29995 at
HomeShop18.com Superdeals - Deals that last only minutes

hahaha...bought already..canon 550D..
love it ..

 

[chethanr]

I have one question. What is the major difference between the following two lenses:
1) Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G (4.3x) Lens (Telephoto Zoom Lens) Rs. 5999
2) Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Lens (Telephoto Zoom Lens) Rs. 16485

Check out the price. Why 10k difference

 

[sujoyp]

chetan...nikon AF lens do not have inbuilt motor but canon 75-300 have USM thats ultrasonic focus motor inside.

BTW both these lens r big flop and never ever plan to buy any of them

If u want to buy 70-300 range lens then get Nikon 70-300mm AFS VR ...and for canon get Canon 55-250mm IS

Thanks Sujoy..

please tell me any BAG... for camera, lens and laptop to hold

Canon 55-250 IS - 15k

optional => Canon 70-300 IS USM 35k

4 options..
one is canon 55- 250 IS
2nd : Canon 70- 300 IS USM
3rd : Tamron SP AF 70-300mm F/4-5,6 Di VC USD (for Canon Digital SLR) Lens
4th :Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5 6.3 Di II VC PZD w/DA 18 (for Canon Digital SLR) Lens

which one to buy ..after my Canon 550 D and Tamron 17-55 2.8 non VC...

Please suggest.

 

[sujoyp]

y do u even consider tamron 18-270...its OUT

if u want cheapest solution then canon 55-250IS is good and very usable
if u want 300 range then Tamron 70-300 VC USD is very good
Canon 70-300 USM IS is too costly to recommend...its just focus speed is more than tamron 70-300 VC USD

I think this bag will fit ur need but its out of stock - *www.flipkart.com/lowepro-compu-daypack-multi-use-backpack/p/itmdyvbzqcpc2p5y?pid=ACCDYVBUPMGB4RRJ&ref=f12b18af-5d47-4922-9b51-379d3023acb2

Canon 70- 300 IS USM is the best and most expensive option here..canon 55- 250 IS is good and affordable option..and it should be sufficient enough for your general purpose photography...

you have not mentioned why you want to buy this lens..do you want to buy for general purpose or specific photography (like bird photography)..


BTW how is the image quality using Tamron 17-55 2.8 non VC ..can you post some pics taken with this lens...

 

[sujoyp]

tamron 70-300 VC USD is very good...many people say its even sharper then nikon 70-300 AFS VR

Great man. Post more pictures with your new lens. Coz im planning to buy some new lens.

Here's a picture i took with my Canon 550d kit lens:

(Actually, real image looks much much more amazing. I think when i uploaded, quality became crap)

ok, so you are saying to buy Tamron SP AF 70-300mm F/4-5,6 Di VC USD (for Canon Digital SLR) Lens

In reviews I am seeing a very good review almost everywhere.. also price difference between it and corresponding canon lens is almost 10K..so thinking of buying it.
Want to buy it for bird photography and also use general purpose.
Will post photos of Tamron 17-55 2.8 later

 

[sujoyp]

Yes Tamron is good and got very nice reviews....300mm is good for a start in bird photography

yes post pic of lens and from lens (tammy 17-50 2.8) ......its the best in-budget replacement for the kit lens...and f2.8 is proffesional range.
