Any of the entry-level bodies from Canon, Nikon, Pentax or Sony will do the job just fine. Is there an actual physical camera store anywhere around that you could visit? If so, then I would strongly recommend going there and actually picking up the cameras and finding out which one(s) feel betterin you hands. Also, since you're outside of the North American/Western Europe "We can get anything we want" circle, it might well be worth finding out which brands are most readily available in your region before making a decision. If you have to, or are going to make the purchase totally on-line, then I would suggest reading up on prospective models at DP Review; it is for my money, the best camera-review 'site on the 'net (and no, I don't work for them).
If your going to consider Nikon, I wouldn't personally recommend the D3xxx or D5xxx series if you think you are going to get serious with photography. get a used D90. Built in focus motor lets you autofocus older AF and AF-D lenses. makes things much easier on your lens budget. You get a bunch of other features with the D90 that is lacking in the D3200 and D5100 models but I dont want to sound like a broken record on the D90. I dont know much of anything about the Canon models so I cant comment on those. you can also look up other threads on this subject and get a whole bunch of information from the canon/nikon debate. I also like Camera Comparison - Snapsort for comparing camera features. I cant say it is the END ALL authority on cameras, but it IS good for comparing a lot of different camera features as long as you don't take it as the gospel.
DxOMark - DxOMark by DxO Labs is also another good camera review site as far as the sensors and image quality goes.
your just going to have to do some footwork and some research for yourself. don't let some schmucks on the internet tell you what camera to buy.
Good suggestions guys
Can anyone help me select one from these?
Canon 550D
Nikon D3200
Canon 600D
Nikon D5100

However, D90 is expensive, If I buy that I won't be able to buy tripod, backpack and any extra lenses with that. I think D3200, D5100 and Canon 550, 600D are good choices, They have basic controls and are good value for money too.

Yeah, built-in Autofocus Motors would allow you to purchase old lenses like the AF-D type NIKKOR lenses. This will allow you to save money with cheaper glass. However, it's noisy; not good for weddings, religious events, or at night hugs. The D7000 is one of those cameras with a built-in autofocus you can buy new; if you want a cheaper, used one, a D90 would suffice.Built in focus motor lets you autofocus older AF and AF-D lenses.
I'm not one to use cnet for reviews.[...] If I were you, I'd just get the d5100 and the sigma 50 1.4. That would use up your budget but would be a good combo. You have your heart set on new basic body. It doesn't have some advanced features but you can work around it by the time you are ready ( ND filters, SU 800, and using AF-S lenses.)

pixmedic said:that's why i said USED D90. if you are set on purchasing new, then the D90 would be out of the running. I would personally take a used D90 over a new D3200 or D5100 for the extra features you get. cameras are about personal preference, you should find them in a store and try them out for yourself before you make any decision based on an internet forums opinion. because that's what you are getting here..OPINIONS. and our own personal tastes. I like being able to pick up older nikon glass and have it AF on my camera. if you don't care about the more "pro" like features on the D90, than certainly you cant go wrong with a D3200. but I very strongly suggest you find a store that carries the cameras you are considering and really take a look at them, and fiddle around with the functions in person before making a final decision.

i would have to disagree there. D90 does JUST FINE for weddings, portraits, and events with good glass on it. As did the D100 before it. (we used both) we don't do any sports photography, or anything fast moving (unless the bride is running away) its not that noisy at all since we don't typically jack the ISO up past 400. the D90 is a great gem of a camera and very well priced used now. later this year or early next year I think we are upgrading to a D300s.

Like when the whole place is quiet then the autofocus motor would make than mechanical noise .
