Sony Alpha A100

Conclusion
The Rs. 60,000 street price makes this one a very expensive option for a starter level DSLR, in fact it's a price that perfectly suites the semi-pro range. It's not a problem fitting the A100 into either of the above categories, because even though it has shooting modes and easy to use features that anyone can get easily accustomed to it also has a great image sensor and a pretty comfortable manual control system that would please any enthusiast.

Though I wouldn't go as far as calling this one a 'bang for your buck', I still think its a pretty good camera with some really good features and overall performance.
