canon digital camera india price image

Suggest a good camera for an amateur / freelancer venturing into professional / commercial photography such as fashion and advertising . Where in India can I buy good cameras that are reasonally priced, digital or manual. Are manual SLRs still in use in commercial photography,?
Whats an SLR and whats the difference between a digital camera and digital SLR?

Answer
Most commercial photographers (taking pictures of products) prefer using view camera. These are the cameras that you see where the photographer puts a black cloth over his head and the camera to take the picture. This is now done with a digital capture back on the camera rather than using film. Fashion photographers on the other hand use any of the professional digital cameras from either Nikon or Canon. The choice of model or brand is still pretty much personal choice and budget. As to finding a place in India to buy one I would recommend that you look up your local professional photographer and pick his brain. You will find them a great resource for helping you decide.

Are digital cameras in Chennai expensive? Do they sell them duty free at the airport?

Sisyphus

They're expensive in Sri Lanka. I can buy one for more than double the price in Colombo or I can wait until I arrive at Chennai airport and buy one there.

Also, does Chennai have cheap Lonely Planet travel guides? In Vietnam you could buy one for a couple of bucks on the street.
