I frequently get asked this question by friends and family. The question being which camera do you recommend for beginners? I decided to compile this quick reference guide to help those who are looking to buy their first camera with manual controls. Below is a quick reference guide to the best digital cameras for beginners available here in India. I have also provided links where the cameras can be purchased.

The cameras listed here are priced between Rs 30,000 and Rs 65,000.

The minimum criteria is that the cameras should have at least a 24 Mpix Sensor which has become the standard now for entry level cameras. There are more expensive cameras that could be considered as beginner cameras but I’ve capped the price at 65,000 which is a reasonable amount for a beginner camera system.

The DSLR Cameras tend to be cheaper but are still capable cameras. Mirrorless cameras sport the latest technology but are a little pricey. You can’t go wrong with buying any of the cameras in this list.

They say that the first 10,000 photos are your worst. These cameras are all worthy companions for the beginners journey to photographic excellence.
