Hi everyone,

I need your help in making my first purchase of a digital camera.I should say I am a total noob in the area of digital cameras.So please excuse me if i ask any dumb questions.

1)Budget - 6k
2)Purpose of camera - Only for taking personal photos.Not into any sort of nature photography and stuffs.
3)Any specific brands - Any brand will do as long as it is within the budget,has good VFM and reliability.I may not be planning to buy a new one for quite some years unless this one goes kaboom..So a model that could last for quite sometime will be the ideal one.
4)Warranty - What is the warranty period in general for digital cameras and how about the after sales support for various brands.

Anything else that I should take into consideration?

Thanks in advance for your help.
