Hi Shashank,

Go to the GK Vale Store in MG Road. YOu can find lot of options there.

Selection:

Check the models in your budget in Canon, Nikon, Sony. Check how the menu navigation is and check how well it fit's in your hand, which one is most stable in your hands while taking a picture.

I will not suggest light weight and slim series cams for Noobs as it's difficult to keep the camera stable due to it's light weight body.

Once you get the models, go to the nearby net cafe and find out the reviews for the cams that you selected and buy the best one.

FYI, don't just rely on reviews. Check how you can handle it.

My pick is Canon or nikon.

Do not buy product worth 13k in grey market.

Ok.But i found the prices in G.K vale damn higher.I think i will settle with the Canon A710 IS.
After enquiring,the price of it in ebay and sify is around 13,500 but when i called the canon cust care,they said it is Rs.21,000!!!!! And iam not will to buy anything online.
So where else can i get that cam around 13k leaving grey market?

Someone please suggest me a good place to buy the cam from...........................................
