I planning to buy a dslr camera, but don't know how to choose. Can anyone suggest me how to choose? My budget below 4k, high megapixel and able to capture in low light..

Must dslr?or csc can?...any preferences?must brand new?

Dslr is friend intro me, actually I not familiar to camera.. my purpose for the camera must have high resolution and able to zoom far.. and able to take good photo in low light

Resolution doesnt translate directly into quality..u need to take into account the sensor size and capabilit .the zooming part if ur into this high end camera level depends on the type of lens u r going to mount on the camera..example: wide angle lens is for taking wide picture, telephoto is when u want to zoom in and get a close up image..that plays huge part in its pricing also..so u need a beginner camera with a good zoom lens..is that it?

Do you have any model to suggest me on this?

if sony, i would gladly to recommend Sony ILCE-6000 (or known as A6000). fast AF, fast shutter response, Exmor CMOS APS-C sensor for DSLR quality pictures

A second hand nikon d7100 is a good base..24megapixel without olpf ensuring sharp image with that excellent sensor..may i know what u r planning to shoot?..do u shoot wedding stuff or any other kind of photography..if going the canon route a 70d is also good but im more familiar with nikon..canon guru can help on that one..

Nikon D7100 look good to me, do you know how was the price? it's the price is camera body only or together with any lens?

First and foremost, you need a camera body and then lens. You do mention about able to capture low light that means you need a "Fast Lens" referring to the maximum aperture of the particular lens.

Personally i am a canon user so i will recommend ah

1st choice

Body with kit lens : 70D with 18-55mm STM ( cost about 3.4k referring to KLDSLR )
Lens : 50mm F/1.8 ( Wait for the STM version , heard coming soon )

If got extra moneh~~~ get a 3rd Party speedlite, Yongnuo 560 IV

2nd choice

Body wit kit lens : 700D with 18-135mm STM ( roughly 2.7k )
Lens and equipment : 50mm F/1.8 STM , Speedlite, Tripod etc

Hope this help out

Lets see..... hmm

Capturing in low light......... and no particular brand mentioned......

How about a Pentax K-5IIs paired with a Tamron 17-50 f2.8? If you are lucky to find one.

Cheers.....

depends your requirement. if you don't mind the weight of dslr, as @xxQue_Sera_Seraxx mentioned, can consider nikon D7100 with kit lens 18-140mm zoom lens

by the way, D7100 may a bit out of your budget, if your budget set to 4k...

my personal recommendation is sony A6000. it not only lighweight, wide autofocus area coverage, it can capture dslr quality picture

I think nowadays 2nd hand body is under 3k..trust me..the d7100 is a higher end body for an aps-c sensor in nikon lineup..better buy a second hand body of a high end camera rather than a new full price lower end body..i have regret on that..cuz i outgrew d camera when my skills become better over time..find d cheapest with good cond u can find.. .id go for a 50mm f1.8 to start..u cannot zoom in or out but it will teach u how to frame ur picture from the start .if can restart learning i will start it this way..however u need to learn the basic first, what does aperture means, and how it relate to how fast a lens is and how it then helps in low light situation..dslr is not a point and shoot camera..to get good image, u have to know how to properly use d camera..u need to tell me what u want to shoot with the camera then i can recommend what lens u need to go for..

I mostly need the camera to take night view...
