ani_meher 42 Report post Posted March 12, 2010 I am leaning towards shifting to DSLR, especially before Leh trip. But the budget is as usual tight. The 1000D is around 22.5 with warranty, but max i can stretch is about 14-15k. I can get second hand 1000D in this range, but maybe in a few months the camera itself will be 18-19k new. What are the recommendations on this? Additionally, if anyone is selling his/her unused DSLR, pls do contact me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted March 12, 2010 you should think about fujifilm cams it will suit your budget they have good cams around 15K model:- S2000HD also one more suggestion, in same price you will get nikon cool pix L100, i will strongly suggest you for NOT to buy this camera, this model it total crap !

ani_meher 42 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Last week, I went to Krome store to try the DSLRs, as I have never handled DSLRs before. I felt them to be really huge to handle comfortably. I am a 'motographer', so I click mostly on motorcycle rides. The camera is most of the times resting in the inner pocket of the jacket. With a DSLR, I don't see how I can still manage to click those pics fast and get moving. Therefore, for time being, I am putting my decision to buy DSLRs at hold. In future, maybe after getting a car and starting to tour in it, I may go for a DSLR! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 ^^^ yes you are correct, but his purpose of using or way of using is different, DSLR will not suite him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ani_meher 42 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Yep, I am not denying the power of DSLRs at all. Simply the practicality matters more at the time being! Also, I am no professional photographer, so not that my photos are going to pay themselves off. Maybe in future I will turn to DSLRs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
