Hi I M a beginner and I use my iPhone6 for photography now I want to switch and looking for a good camera it will be help if anyone can help me choosing a good camera
 
Well, it depends on budget and interests really. Do you want a Compact System Camera, a high end compact, a DSLR… ?
 
I am Indian so need to see which one would be available here my budget is 70,000 INR
 
I don't live in India, so no knowledge of what things cost. But that is about £850.00 GBP. Should get something quite special.

You will get varying suggestions, Canon, Nikon. Both are wonderful pieces of kit. Why not try to borrow one first, see what you prefer, layout and handling.

Best of luck. Let us know what you decide.

Tool for the job would be an entry level DSLR.
If you dont know what you really want/ned/can use, they are designed as a learning tool, ad they pack as much usefulness as many will EVER use.I started with cameras that took film; my entry level DSLR is like every camera, every accessory and every roll of film in the shop, in one, whilst even the fairly 'mild' kit 18-55 lens, is likewise, all the lenses I was likely to want or be able to afford to buy for a camera that took film. As a beginner, if there is anything that could be 'better' it is very very unlikely to be the camera.
Compacts, are, wll compact, and the better ones can be fantastc, and in many cases as good as a DSLR, but those will tend to be as expensive as an etry level DSLR, too.
Compact System Cameras, again, are compact, and can be fantastic, and as good or better than a DSLR, but are generally more expensve than entry level DSLR's and have other compromises.
Bridge cameras, fall between DSLR and Compacts, for size, and tend to be a bit neither nor. Better ones again, may rival a DSLR for usefulness, but are again likely to challenge the etry level DSLR's for price.
Hence alround, the entry level DSLR's are difficult to beat, and if you dont have or yet know of any special features that would be worth lookig elswhere, go for an entry level DSLR!
And DONT blow all your budget o getting as much as you can straight off the stops.
As said, most likely limitation here and now wll be you, and even a humble starter kit with just the 18-55 lens, IS like everything n the shop twenty five years ago from film, and as likley to hinder learning as help it, giving you o many choices to perplex and putting so much onus on looking at the camera rather than through it.
So, keep it cncervatve, save your cash, buy as little as you can get away with... and GO USE IT... practice makes perfect, and that's where you will get better pictures.... not in the camera shop!
 
best advice i can give is go and try a few out you are not brand dependant so look at various makes. what ever yo buy make sure its right for you buttons in the right place and that you like the menu system. don't settle for i will get used to it
 
As above go and try before you buy. My first DSLR was the canon 550d a great entry level camera and with your budget you should have enough to treat yourself to a 50mm prime lens.
 
What are you aiming to take photographs of?

The reason I ask is that different types of cameras have different advantages / disadvantages, and you will want to pick one that matches your aspirations.

An entry level DSLR, as already mentioned, is a great 'general purpose' camera - but is larger, heavier and more conspicuous than a compact system camera, and will have much less magnification of distant objects than a higher end 'bridge' camera as the lens it comes with will nto have the same 'reach' (if you wanted to take shots of just wildlife, for example ).
