Buying DSLR under 60k

Okay, but 60000 what? In US DOLLARS THAT IS ONE HELL OF A BIG BUDGET!!!

For 60K US just hire a photographer. Have him or her take what ya want for a year. LOL

Assuming you are real and this is not a joke, first tell us where you live and what type of photography you intend to pursue with your 60000 camera.

Probably rupees which is around $1000

$53,000 the kit, camera only: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1078381-REG/hasselblad_3013708_h5d_200c_ms_digital_camera.html

I have a budget of 60000 which is the max limit, which is including the lens too. Could anyone suggest the best camera lens combination in the given budget? I have been using Nikon D5200 and Canon 60D so brand is not much of an issue.

For that much money, hire a professional photographer to spend a couple of weeks with you, and then take you shopping. The pro can act as an advisor / counselor, and help you get the best deal.

He has 60,000 to spend – but no clue of what he wants, beyond saying that he wants a DSLR body and a lens.

We don't know if he wants to take landscapes, indoor sports photos, birding/wildlife photos, or just everyday snapshots of the wife and kids. Without knowing what types of pictures he wants to take, there's no way to advise him on cost-effective kits, even with that near-unlimited (???) budget.

Guys, you really need to stop saying unlimited budget.

Clearly, he's referring to some other currency and is not a native English speaker. My guess is also Rupees from his name.

I'd suggest a good mid-range Rebel kit at that price.

i meant that budget in Indian Rupee, which would be 1000US$. I need the camera for basic photography and wildlife shoots

The post has turned out to be quite a pun though What I meant to ask for was a under 1000$ camera for wildlife and product shoots. And the budget includes the price for the lens too.

The cameras you have been using are a good start. Wildlife usually means a long telephoto lens, sometimes a very expensive telephoto. Product photography depends a whole lot more on lighting and staging than on the camera. Said lighting and staging can be a considerable expense, depending on just how professional the results need to be, and how much Photoshopping you are willing to take on to make up for a cheap setup.

You could make your own stay on DPreview better and make it easier for people to help you if you learned from this and actually stated your country of residence in your profile.

$ is the currency of more than 20 countries around the world. And these currencies are sold at different rates, so $ is nothing to go by. There's a perfectly understandable ISO currency code for US dollars: USD.

Klaus, why didn't you gig him for putting the "$" symbol on the right side? ;-)

I don't think I even noticed. But now you did it for me. Are you saying the right side is the wrong side? What a strange language you guys speak

Hi

We were just having a bit of fun (albeit at your expense). Welcome to DPReview.

As others have pointed out, your desire to do both product shoots and wildlife puts you at the extreme far ends of the lens spectrum. If you'd said you only wanted to do family and friends, plus landscape, then you could get by quite comfortably with a Canon or Nikon DSLR and one of the shorter tele lenses (or maybe even a kit lens) available in those systems. However, the long telephoto lens will be more expensive.

I cannot offer detailed advice re. Canon or Nikon DSLRs and lenses, since I am a micro four thirds user. Within the m4/3 system, you could get the Olympus 75-300 tele zoom for $500 US, and an Olympus E-M10 for $600 US. I realize that is more than your $1000 USD budget, but again, long lenses do not come cheap. If you have access to used lenses, you could pick up the Olympus 12-42 kit lens for $100 or so USD and you'd have a setup that would do for product shots, family and friends, landscape, AND far-off wildlife.

Do keep in mind that the micro four thirds lens is equivalent to 150mm - 600mm 35mm full frame, so you would end up with a LONG lens for a reasonable price. I don't know if Canon or Nikon has an equivalent focal length at this price point or not; perhaps others can comment on that.

NOTE: I am not at all trying to dissuade you from buying a DSLR. I am just offering something for your consideration if you are amenable to other options. If you aren't, I will gracefully bow out, and leave it to the Canikon folks to advise you!
