If you your budget is upto 34.5k better to buy Nikon D5100 that comes with more features.

58k is good budget if u r ready to spend slowly on lenses and accessories
but if u want everything in 58k then there is a different idea

1. D7000+18-55

2. D5100 + 18-55 +70-300

3. 550D + 18-55 +55-250 +50mm

All 3 combos u can get ...remember u will need different lenses for different purposes...soo if u r ready to spend more on lens later then buy 1st one...or else if u want most of it now 2nd and 3rd choices :)

Are you sure D7000 would fit in this budget? If yes, who is the seller?

About a month back, Nikon slashed price for D3100 and D5100 and increased D7000. Now body alone costs 64.5k MRP; with kit (18-105) 80k

@ bongboy one of the good photographer friend in TDF toofan told me that u can check at
alpha at palika bazaar, c p , new delhi. if u can find the phone number...just call them.

@Rockstar .....not much big difference i would say...D3200 is there to replace the entry level D3100 ...and D3200 is new right now soo maybe price is bit high....also D3200 have 24MP I think....its good for birding and merrige photographers.

D5100 is the higher entry level dslr and will have better features then D3200 in all cases :)

bro D5100 is at a higher segment and will be have better feature set than entry level D3200

One should go for D5100 right now....D3200 is costly coz its new and not coz its similar to D5100
