The D7200 and the 18-140 lens would be a good combo. However before making a top 10 list that is of any use for you you would need to answer some questions.

1. Budget, you have that stated as $1000-1200
2. What are you going to shoot with your camera?
3. Is weight and size of the camera gear an issue for you?
4. Are you going to shoot a lot outside in different weather conditions - to know if weather sealing is important.
5. Are you going to travel a lot with your gear?
6. Are you going to shoot a lot in low light, and then what?
7. Are you going to make large prints from your pics or planing to view them mostly on your TV and PC, show them on social media etc.

This is my top 7 list for you to answer before people can make a top 10 list of cameras fitting your needs
The D7200 and the 18-140 lens would be a good comb... (show quote)


1. My budget is based on keeping the camera 10+ years and it meeting my needs
2. Outdoor scenery shots, dogs, grand kids, artsy fartsy
3. Have DSLR now so I know what I am getting into. A mid-sized body is fine.
4. Doubtful if I will be in extreme weather conditions but I do a lot of winter shots so snow could be an issue
5. Some travel but not a ton
6. Not a lot of low light, hope to get an external flash in near future. Hate the built in flash
7. 8X11 would be max print size. Of course pictures will be seen other places but I don't need $1000+ camera to post to FB

One thing I did not mention I do post editing on Photoshop

Great article but I have owned a DSLR for years and the advice is a little more basic than what I need.

1.) Whether or not that camera and lens will do what the person wants it to do for them.
2.) Whether or not the person needs that camera or is suffering GAS.
3-10.) Marketer's B/S selling camera gear.


If I knew the answers to these questions I wouldn't be asking

I have $1000 to 1200 to spend on a camera and lense which is not a bunch. Open to all options new, used, refurbished. I would rate myself as an amateur who just knows enough to be dangerous. Just to give you an idea of what I have found on my own is a Nikon D7200 with a 28-140 lense.

I would like to have some input on a top 10 list in order of importance of what people look for in a camera and lense on a budget


Maybe I was not clear enough. I have enough money to buy one decent Camera and Lense. So this camera lense combo has to do it all. Of course this is impossible but I'm not a Pro just want a camera to record the beauty of my life. What I need is advice on what the top 10 features to look for are. Things like:

Mega Pixels
FPS
Auto Focus options
# number of auto focus points
Metal/plastic body
ISO range
Wifi capability
LCD Flipping or rotating
Image stabilization
Others?
