Cheapest DSLR will be around 20k. For half the budget of cheapest DSLR you can get Canon SX150 or Fuji S2950

Yeah there are mirror-less interchangeable lens cameras. Again it would cost around 20k.

You might be able to get used canon 1100 for rs 10000.

But practically if a person budget is only rs 10000,there is no use thinking about DSLR.For Rs10000 a person can buy good point and shoot camera and enjoy photography.

I believe the cheapest DSLR you can get in this market is Canon 1000D. I bought it for 24k more than 1 yrs back.

But again, you will only get a 18-55 non IS lens with that.

Being in a budget constrain, better buy a good point and shoot camera from Canon as other members are suggesting.

Remember, buying a DSLR is not just abt buying the camera, there is a lot of additional cost like buying some zoon and prime lens to get the best out of the cam.
