After spending over a year with Canon A590 I have made up my mind to get a SLR. The choices are following:
* Nikon D3100
- It's cheap (relatively).
- Nikon brand
- Good all-round performance for price (from reviews)
- Optical Viewfinder
Canon 550D
- Considered best mid-segment prosumer DSLR (from reviews)
- Great image quality (from reviews)
- Canon brand
- Optical Viewfinder
- Butalmost Rs 10000 more expensive than Sony A33
Sony A33
- Smaller than 550D and D3100... will fit well in my mid-sized hands
- Good HD video performance (from reviews)
- Good image quality though not as good as the one from 550D (from reviews)
- SLT has its advantages (because I haven't used one so I need more inputs)
- Features like panorama mode
- In-built image stabilization
I have almost made up my mind to get A33... unless somebody can convince me otherwise here.
Also I will probably buy cam from dubai so if anyone has idea of prices and cam market in Dubai, please pitch in.
