Recommendation Request for first DSLR Camera........
6 months ago

Hi,

I am looking forward to purchase my first DSLR and the following are the options which I am getting in Joburg.

Canon T4i/EOS650D with 18-55 and 55-200 IS lenses - ZAR11,000 (USD1295)

Canon EOS60D with 18-55 IS lens - ZAR10,000 (USD 1175)

Nikon D3100 with 18-55 and 55-200 lenses - ZAR5100 (USD600)

Nikon D5100 with 18-55 and 55-200 lenses - ZAR10,000 (USD 1175)

**Memory cards and camera bags are included in all kits.

I intend to do mostly still photography (indoor/outdoor) with occasional videos (mostly indoor). Being in South Africa, I would like to use the camera when I go out to safaris.

I tried all the cameras in my hand and really liked the feel of Canon 60D. The 650D also felt nice. Nikon cameras felt a bit small in my hands.

Can someone please advice me on what would be a good buy for a beginner. Although I may buy addon lenses, I not going to change the camera body I buy now for at least the next 5-7 years.

Thanks

R
