What DSLR Camera to buy?
Guys i would just like to seek advise on which DSLR Camera to buy.
My friend suggested a Nikon D5100. According to her it's not very expensive and it will work fine for a beginner like me. She also suggested that I buy a 35 MM 1.8G Lens.
Do you guys think it is a good idea?
HOw much does the camera usually costs? and the Lens?
And lastly, Do u know which shop offers the lowest price for these?
Sorry guys I just want to gather as much info as I can before I make the purchase. Also just to make sure it'll be within my budget.
thanks thanks in advance :)

just in line with what's on my mind to ask. nice reading.
After 3 month evaluation, I have bought Nikon D5100 last month from Salam. It was cost me QAR 3499. It is good camera for beginners. Canon 600D (T3i Rebel) is the competitor product. I believe Nikon is having slight edge compare to Cannon. Nikon is having good photo quality with 11 focus points. Additionally you can enjoy cool effects with Nikon. I really like selective colors. As a beginner KIT lens is sufficient to start. During the photography you will feel what type of lenses you need. So my suggestion is to buy a NIKON D5100. But if you are having extra cash you can buy NIKON D7000.
Agree with glennss; cannon 600d from carrefour or lulu. Great starter camera.
salam offers the lowest price as far as i know... go for canon 550d or 600d... it will cost you around QR3,200 to QR 4,000 including some accessories you'll be needing... if you'll add lense, go for sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4... it's a good lense for portrait, landscape & even night photography... also, before buying, you must learn the technicalities of the camera such as balancing the shutter speed, apperture value, ISO, exposure value, picture style, white balance, metering... if you want to learn it, buy DSRL, if not, better go for a point & shoot which is cheaper one...
Yes that would be a good beginners camera, if you have friends that are into photography buy the same brand as them and then you can borrow and try out stuff from them..
I would get a standard range zoom (17-55mm) if that isn't included with your 5100 before a 35mm as its more flexible and will let you shoot more things than a 35mm prime
bcos wen quake comes and washes ,it doesnt matter u buy nikon or sony..
sony nex3 (or nex5) with 18-55 is good for pics and also for videos and is a sony...
