Hokay. So after much thought, i have placed an order for a
Nikon D5600. What made me this choose this? Well, after A LOT of reading, i can't really see a good alternative to it. Plus, it's a newer model. The price i'm paying is kind of a bargain, considering the actual price for a body only is like, USD $700, which is a little over AED 2500,, which is like PKR 73000.
I got the following deal with one lens (an ordinary one, though) for just AED 2279, which is like USD $620 i.e. around PKR 65000.

Now, i haven't bought any accessory yet. But soon, Inshallah (probably with next salary
) I will get the following:
1. Sigma 35mm F1.4DG SM - Too many praises for this. OR
1.1. Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art -- Do let me know if there is any other choice better (or cheaper) than this.
2. A SD Card 128GB (or 256GB) UHS-1, depending upon the price. (A UHS-2 card will run at UHS-1 speeds in Nikon D5600 anyway so i guess no need to spend extra).
3. Extra pair of batteries
4. A handbag
5. A tripod or a proper photography stand.
Pretty sure the actual expense will be more than PKR 150,000, but it is what it is.
Thoughts?
