Question

What camera should i buy?

May 3, 2014 9:45PM PDT

I know very few things about camera. Only used a point
and shoot and a bridge camera(without knowledge of what i am really doing)
Interested to buy a DSLR or mirrorless in price range
Rs 25000 - 35000(in Indian Rupees or $ 400 -600).
These are some models in consideration - Nikkon D3200,
Sony A58K, Samsung NX1000 ,Cannon EOS1100D..
I think these are some specs i can expect in this price range(i have learned what is that from net) - Sensor size - 1.5 crop , lens - 18 - 55 mm ,aperture - 3.5 -5.6 , megpixel ~ 20 , ISO 100 - 6400 ...
What else i should consider for a camera?(image quality is priority). Can you suggest a model if possible?

Why not learn to use the camera you have better?

Seems to me you would be able to make a much better decision if you learned to use the camera you have now to its fullest potential before spending money on something else.
