I think the most important thing is that you find a DSLR that does what you need it to do and nothing more. Think about the kind of photography you like and research, research, research. You may find that a less expensive body will work for you and then you can spend your extra money on more glass! I personally use a less expensive body (a Canon T1i) and have been able to upgrade my lenses. Really good quality lenses make all the difference. As a matter of fact, you may want to decide which lens line you like best and then buy a body from that manufacturer. You will eventually end up buying a new body, but your lenses will last forever if you stay with the same manufacturer. Does that make any sense or did I do a really poor job explaining?

my 2 cents, they are asking for opinions, and opinions are what they will get. my opinion would also be d7000. fabulous camera. but of course they should do lots of research to what they will be using it for and decide.

I agree with you on that what ever brand of gear people choose i just like to see people get the most for their investment as well as the right equipment for them self

true there is no substitute for good lenses, i would rather have a 10 megapixel camera with great lenses than 18 megapixels with a crappy lens

For my 2 cents---If you are just getting into digital photography don't buy a camera that's over your head. The Nikon D7000 is a great camera but let me make a suggestion. I have a Nikon D5100 and have opted to use a Tameron 18-275 zoom which I liked better than the Nikon 18-200 lens. It's cheaper and IMO it's a better lens after comparing the two. You should be able to come close to your price range with this setup. Then when you save a little money up, and I mean a little go out and purchase the Nikon fixed 50mm 1.8 lens and you should be ready to shoot in any situation. If you deal with a reputable dealer they will allow you 30 days to try the camera and if you don't like it you can bring it back and exchange it for another or get a full refund. Another quick tip is to find a quality camera store, I use National Camera Exchange. Don't be fooled by cheaper prices online because after shipping and handling they are about the same and if something goes wrong or you don't like your camera it's a pain in the butt shipping it back plus added expense. Go to a quality store and the options I mentioned should be available to you so you can begin your new purchase on a positive note...............
