dslr camera kits sale image
Shardul K
I'm in the market for a good entry level DSLR. The issue is that many dealers in India sell cameras without manufacturer warranty. This puts a question mark on the quality/legality of the product and I don't want to get ripped off buying a refurbished product. There's nothing that will help me avoid buying a used product but I know that refurbished products have certain identification marks. If I get to know what these are at least I will be able to avoid buying such products.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance

They are usually packaged in a plain, white box instead of the graphic filled retail package. They also package kit lenses in similar boxes but they usually say something about not being for individual sale and being part of a kit. Refurbs either say refurb or remanufactured or are competely plain on the boxes exterior.

It really doesn't matter what camera you get. The lens is what matters with most pictures. For textiles, you may want a macro lens if there is any embroidery detail in the scarf. A true macro will allow you to capture the detail at life size. Many lenses say macro, but you have to look at the specifications to see if it is a 1:1 macro (a true macro) or not. But you can do what you want with just about any macro lens. If you want a camera and lens combo that can do what you want and be good for all-around use, I would say for the lens to get a Tamron 18-250. The lens is made in a mount for Sony, Nikon, Canon and Pentax I believe and costs $459. It is considered a macro, but is not a true macro.
You can get an entry level DSLR for around $500-600 depending on which brand you go with. Sony has the least expsensive DSLRs. The a200 is a really great entry level camera which is a 12MP camera and gets 3 frames per second. You can get it with two lenses: the 18-70 and either the 55-200 or 75-300 lenses-for $550. Or with just the 18-70 lens for $500. I say go for the two lens option and the 55-200 is a bit better than the 75-300, but doesn't have as much reach. So it is a trade off for which would be mroe important, better image quality or the extra 100mm reach.
You could get the Tamron lens to go with the a200 if you wanted and if you have the budget. Whichever brand and model you do go with, don't forget to find out what memory card the camera uses (the a200 uses the compact flash and memory stick pro duo) because you will have to have at least one to take pictures. The camera does come with a battery, but you also might want to buy an extra. That way, if you are out and forgot to recharge the battery, you have the second battery already charged and ready to go. The third thing you really need when getting an SLR is a camera bag or case. It doesn't have to be elaborate. Just big enough to hold the camera and a couple of lenses and small stuff you might need. B&H is an excellent place to get a camera and accessories. I got my a700 with no sales tax (which would have been about $100) and free shipping. Adorama is another trusted online seller. I ordered a Sony bag that came with an extra battery for $69.95 (it was $20 more at B&H). Since the battery costs about $50 I got that bag for about $20-not bad at all. And it is large enough to hold the a200 and 2-3 lenses and the extra battery and cleaning kit and whatnot.
As a cleaning kit, I suggest either a hurricane blower or a rocket blower, and a microfiber cloth. That is all you should need. Lenses have coatings on them and you should not use a liquid cleaner on the glass.
Those are all the things you need to get started. Try dpreview:

It is on the a200 review, but it is simple to get to other reviews. Happy hunting!
