always keep the articles to up to date. It will meaningless to tell you,
do not buy an entry level DSLR, think trice, unless you yourself can

physical shop. It is not like buying a grocery item, it is quite
sensitive and it is a big pain to get the money back or to get a
replacement if you have received a compromised or defective product. You
are not so busy that you can not visit 5-6 bigger shops within a month
to get an idea.

there are extra freebies given by a particular dealer.

partner. Take a Tablet PC if possible to quickly check any question

product becomes faulty due to their problem, simply ask the help of a
Lawyer (or ask in any Law Forum), how to complain as a consumer and how
to legally stop paying the EMI. The material (camera) and money is also
within your control.

you who has good knowledge about Photography.

to bring a new box pack. Do never allow them to open. Take the box
package and check for any possible manipulation mark indicating prior
opening. The shops usually opens from the bottom of the box package.

than of 2 months. If you have doubt with the appearance, you can check
on your Tablet PC. Keep the biggest point in mind – the shop owner and
