Hi Anu, welcome to CiC...

You can find some various basic comparisions of the various DSLR cameras by doing a Google search with parameters like "60D vs. T3i".

However you can also find some information regarding various cameras on Youtube such as this comparison:

Hi, IMO you have two choices (1) buy a brand new camera of your choice, no one can tell what one to buy only advice as that already given, you may also consider going to your local camera shop (without money in your pocket) just to look and if possible handle the differant models, find what sits in your hand, (2) Go for a secondhand higher standard camera with low shutter count if you can find one Canon 5D MkII etc. Oh yes lastly you say Quote:- I dont want to change this DSLR for next 10 years, I say wanna bet?

Hi Anu,

Welcome to the CiC forums from me too.

It would also help us to advise you if we knew what subject(s) you wanted to shoot, at least at first.

The budget doesn't strike me as being very high for a body and (probably one) lens, so if you (like me) immediately wanted say, a long lens for wildlife, that would have to be as a trade off for the capabilities of the body to keep within 900 (US?) dollars budget.

I tend to agree with Russell, 10 years is a long time to keep a body these days, so a compromise may not be as big a problem as you might think. However, one thing to realise; photography as a hobby isn't cheap (sadly).

Cheers,
