Always try and see the comparisons if possible.. it gives an inside out of the features and capabilities.. check out the following link.Originally posted by eliksir View Postget the canon powershot sx130is or panasonic lumix tz8. Both are in the 10-12k range and are neck and neck on image quality as well as other features. Both feature a manual mode too (apart from the usual dozen modes) which are good enough for your LKG an UKG when you move to DSLRs.
going by the reviews online, these are excellent VFM cams.
you could also check the sx210is at 20k but it doesn't offer much improvement over the sx130is at almost double the cost

so much for an entry level DSLR to call it a super deal????!!!! sigh!!! Adding few more thousands one can buy a semi-pro body Nikon D90!!!Originally posted by ravi@17bhp View PostCanon EOS 550d is selling at a special price of 32,990 on ebay.in (with kit lens).

IMO, any DSLR which is in entry level category should be priced at around 25k with kit lens!!Cheap and Reliable is not Fast, Cheap and Fast is not Reliable, Fast and Reliable is not Cheap!

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.Originally posted by kkrk2 View Postso much for an entry level DSLR to call it a super deal????!!!! sigh!!!

Just a few days back it was sold at 45k in India and now it is 33K. Don't you feel this is a super deal?
Entry-level DSLR is 1000D and 1100D which are price around 22k-26K.HH Karizma (Current) || CBF Stunner PGM-FI || Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler

Semi-pro??? .......... lol. Any DSLR without a pentaprism and remote-strobing facility can never be called a semi-pro!!! Probably the 600D can be passed off as a semi-pro body!!!

If it comes to around 25K (+/- 2k) then I would say its a super deal!!!
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 10.5kOriginally posted by ravi@17bhp View PostEntry-level DSLR is 1000D and 1100D which are price around 22k-26K.
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.Originally posted by kkrk2 View PostSemi-pro??? .......... lol.

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.Last edited by ravi@17bhp; 04-27-2011, 01:16 AM.HH Karizma (Current) || CBF Stunner PGM-FI || Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler

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!!!Originally posted by ravi@17bhp View Post.......

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 ?Men who still dream of being a pilot or an astronaut are yet to ride a motorcycle.

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.
