HI ! Need to buy an SLR camera for dad. Has to be Nikon. This is going to be is 2nd SLR (He used Yashika SLR for a decade ! ) Pointers - 1. Buying from abroad of any good ? If yes then from which all countries ? 2. If not, then from where to buy from in Gurgaon ? 3. Which model to look for in 30k types budget. 4. Would prefer with stand & additional lenses ( or feature to upgrade in future ) Please advice.
3. 0k u say ? ... Nikon D3100, eyes closed. Well, you can keep your eyes open if u want, but it wont help as there isnt any better model in this price range from Nikon
I want to buy one too, but my budget can be extended upto 35k. Open to both Canon and Nikon. coolcatric - any particular reason you're going in for Nikon specifically?
Well, consulted with few user...said more or less its the same. But my dad somehow has this soft corner for Nikon. So i would stick to Nikon. When do you plan to buy ? Where are you based from ? --- Post Merged: Jun 20, 2012 6:31 PM --- harryneopotter Which is the next model ? Where to buy from in Gurgaon ? Whats the best price for it ? Any fun in buying from Abroad ? Did you speak to our guy ?
I have the option of buying it from US, so I'm also considering buying a factory refurb if there is a good price difference. If I buy it from the US, then I'd be buying after 18th July, from India then before 18th July.
Cool. So whats the price you getting from USA ? My brother is in USA rigth now, can ask him to check & bring 1 for me (provided he has space left ! )

Most definitely not,Canon does make some better camera's than Nikon when it comes to PNS.In the world of SLR's its a completely different story altogether. In fact if you put this out for in a poll with proper backing of proof in a world wide photography forum, Nikon will win with flying colors. Everyone knows this including all canon owners. As of now Nikon D4 is the best full frame camera on the planet. Having said all this i must say 550D is a better camera than D3100 in still photography but D3200 is way better than 550D in everything.
