Answer 1

Canon, Nikon and sony cameras are good..

Personally i like Nikon D40, Canon EOS Rebel XSi.Canon EOS 40D.

You can go to cnet.com to find reviews for them.

The lowest price i find for the Canon EOS 40D SLR Digital Camera Body Only is $894.

Answer 2

I have the A-100. I bought the Sony 75-300 and have ne regrets.

Answer 3

I heard Sony's lenses are expensive. When buying a camera, you need to consider to the cost of the additional parts. Lenses, filters, straps, flash, etc.

30 - 35k (as in $30000 right?) for a camera is very expensive considering you are not professional.  

Answer 4

My suggestion is to go for the Nikon D60 VR 18-55mm kit and add the Cannon VR 55-200mm lens to it.

Of course you still need to get a good fast SD card 150x speed, SDHC rated 4GB By Kingston, Lexar or Transcend, and a storage bag to protect all this hightech equipment from dust, heat and humidity(especially in India). Finally, a tough aluminum based tripod or monopod.

Good Luck.
