Since your last post was August, I will assume you have already purchased a camera. For what it's worth though, when you're first starting out, I would consider one of the midrange or entry level nikons (D5000 or D3100). Start with some kit lenses. If you shop around, you can get some good deals on sets. Practice and get used to using your camera, then invest in additional lenses. You can always add a new body to your equipment later on.
