    specially if the pricetag is with a kit lens.
    I was mentioning it as a super-deal price!!!

    I doubt!! I checked with the reliance digital, coimbatore. It was for just two days!! BTW, the D90 with kit lens was for 28K!!!

    I always wished canon should have retained the 400D or 450D instead of the 1000D or 1100D!!! or re-branded the 400D or 450D as 1000D and 1100D. But I guess the Canon folks might have been worried that 400D or 450D will eat into the sales of 500D and 550D respectively!!

    you are right bout the the 600D not being a semi-pro SLR.

    it's more of an (high-end ) entry level DSLR.

    Hi xbhpians,
    Welcome to the age old feud between Canon and Nikon-mine is better than yours.
    How do we classify a camera as professional, semi-professional, entry level or anything else? Camera cost depends on features. I have best of Nikon cameras and lenses but I am not a professional. I do not make any money out of my photography. Then there are many professional photographers that make thousands of dollars using basic cameras. You know, horses for courses.
    Have anybody given any thought for mirror less cameras like Panasonic, Olympus, Sony? I am sure the future of photography belongs to mirror less cameras. Anybody interested in buying first DSLR should also look at mirror less cameras.

    Hey guys i have a query i'd like to ask you..
    I will be taking away our family DSLR this summer and my parents will become "shutterless"
    so they are thinking of getting an entry level Point and shoot.
    They've left me to decide the cam and i want your advice.
    What should i get for a budget of around 10k ?

    At this stage, absolutely!! Especially when canon has placed the 600D between 550D and 60D!!! May be the 500D is the one whose price might come to around 27K or 28K just before it is being discontinued!!!

    I would say the 1000D (and nikon D3000) as sub-entry level camera which can attain super deal status if priced at around 18k!!! I dont know about 1100D and D3100. BTW, few weeks back, the 1000D was available in clearance sale in Reliance digital for around 10.5k including 18-55 kit lens(I am not sure with it was IS lens though!!). Now thats what I call it as super-bumper-jumper deal!!!
    Having a pentaprism will not give you any edge in picture quality, except for better viewfinder. 550D is an excellent package and the price at 40k is very much justified. 550D is more versatile than a D90 with superb movie mode with all manual control of exposure. The imaging system is directly taken from 7D, a semi-pro. Of course, you will get a robust body in D90, but you have to cough up more thousands.

    The MRP of 550d after 600D was introduced is reduced to 40k from 50k. It is retailing everywhere at 37-38k in India. The deal on e-bay at just 33k, with two years warranty, along with a 18-55mm IS lens, is very very good deal.

    The 1000d that reliance digital sold at 10.5k is a refurbished model which was used as a display model for quite sometime.

    At this stage, expecting 550D at 25k is too much for such a nicely featured versatile DSLR.

    This is not an entry-level DSLR Raj. It is almost a semi-pro. The imaging system is directly taken from EOS 7D (except for speed and some high end features). This has the best movie mode of all the current DSLRs, not to mention the excellent 18mp sensor.
