After a bit of research and interactions with fellow Pak Wheelers; I eventually picked Canon 600D /w 18-135mm IS Kit. The camera was available for 95k from Nisbat Road, Lahore but I preferred buying from a local studio for 96k. (a) I saved fuel expenses (b) He arranged a sealed box direct from Karachi and (c) I got the local warranty
