^^ I was in a similar situation till 15 days back. There is everything on net but its helpful only if someone properly tells you the basics.

Theres 7 days workshop in NIP, Dadar.
Theres 2 days workshop in VPS, Dadar.

I was recommended the first one, but just because of the duration I attended the second one, which turned out to be quite decent. I can now use net information the way I want. I strongly recommend attending atleast one basic workshop, though others might have a different opinion.

If you don't have options then you have to learn by yourself. Download some books on photography and read them. Or take that 7 day training. They will teach you some deep things also, only in those 7 days, which many like me learn by experience and time. So if want to invest invest in good or go free.

^^ I assume it is not a DSLR. If your budget is 25k, you can get a decent entry level DSLR. Not sure about Nikon, but you can get Canon 450D around that price from US. But let few more inputs come from other thread members. They are more experienced. I am just a new entrant :)

What did u like in Nikon P90??...Panasonic Fz35 and Canon Sx20 are better then that..

Also if u want DSLR then u can have 2-3 choices but then u have to spend extra on zoom lens, macro lens etc..

An advance superzoom is good for all in one purpose but not something u want for ur hobby....for pursuing hobby u should go for DSLR

Hey i have used P90 and i was not really impressed with that camera... better go with Canon SX20 with almost same features but a better image stabilizer than Canon on this cam...

Also, you can consider D500 from Canon if u want to go with a DSLR... it is almost the same price...

Canon point and shoot cameras are better as far as i have used them and would rate it over Nikon

500D (or Rebel T1i, in US) is a bit costlier. I got it a month back from US for around 32K for a cam with 18-55 mm basic lens. It definitely costlier in India, if I am not mistaken. 450D (or XSi, if purchased from US) should fit the 25k budget. I think the only difference is the HD video recording.

DSLR system is much complicated then Superzoom like SX20

u have to spend a fortune to get 15-20x zoom lens in slr

for general purpose I would recommend FZ35 and SX20 any day
