Hello everyone, i'm planning to purchase a digital camera. My budget is strictly under 6k. I'll be using it for hobby photography and when on holidays and picnics. I have little bit of experience in photography. Preferred brand CANON, SONY.

It costs over 7k. Please guys do suggest more. Why no replies? My needs are, excellent picture quality, even during night and good clarity while recording video as well as audio with it.
