[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 28813, member: 3903"] With your budget, I'd start with a 18-200. It would give you nice reach for kid pictures and some wild life. This is not the wildlife photographer's dream lens, but it is an all around lens that comes in very handy for trips and travel photography (have a look at my Mallorca Gallery all taken with this lens). For your sunset shots, I'd get a good tripod to help you get the shots you want without having to go high iso, and maybe if you have money left (which you should), get a Nikon flash (D700 or 600). Of course the D7000 is a fantastic camera, but you probably will have more photo opportunity with the 18-200 than just the D7000 and the kit lens. If you were trying to produce poster size prints, my advice could be different, but for what you said you like, this is the route I would go for now. Keep in mind that you will still want to get the D7000 one of these days, but the lens should get you more for now. As usual, this is only my personal opinion and other will think differently.
