Best camera under 50000 in India
At 50000 rupees, buy a compact video camera like the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 or the Canon PowerShot V10 if you mainly want to film. If you want to change lenses, plan to spend a bit more, because new mirrorless bodies usually start above this line.
This list refreshes with every store check and only shows what is under 50000 and in stock right now.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Camera (Standard Kit)from ₹41,990
Canon PowerShot V10 Vlog Camerafrom ₹38,990
GoPro Hero 13 Black Action Camerafrom ₹33,299Which of these suits you
Filming yourself and family. The Osmo Pocket 3 has a 1-inch sensor on a built-in gimbal, according to DJI. That gimbal gives you steady walking footage with no extra gear. It will not replace a camera for serious photos, and it does not take lenses.
Pocket vlogging. Canon's PowerShot V10 also has a 1-inch sensor and weighs about 211g. It records 4K at 30p, with digital stabilisation for handheld video.
Rough use, bikes, water. Action cameras from GoPro and DJI are built to be mounted and knocked about. Their small sensors make them a poor choice for indoor family photos.
If you can stretch
The moment you want better photos, blurred backgrounds or longer zooms, you need interchangeable lenses. These are the closest bodies to this budget that FineRig tracks, and today's prices are in the tiles.

What to avoid
Be wary of anything sold as a "4K DSLR style" camera at a very low price from an unknown brand. If no maker's specification page exists for it, you have no way to check what it does.
Also be careful with offers that bundle a camera with lots of cheap accessories. A low price on a kit can hide what the body alone is worth.
Before you buy
Ask the shop what is in the box and whether the price you see is for the standard kit or a combo, since these cameras are sold both ways. Ask to see the camera working, and take down the seller's number. If something goes wrong later, you will know who to call.
Talk to the shop before you pay
These are camera stores in India, with the price and stock from their own websites. Pick one you can phone, ask your question, then decide.

Should I buy a used camera instead?
