[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 242266, member: 9240"] When I bought a DSLR 3 years ago it was a D7000 with a 18-105mm. I am so glad I got that and not a "lesser" model. If you want "easy" then you may want to look at other types of cameras. If you know you want to learn to use a DSLR then get something that will reward the effort. If you look around this forum you'll see several threads where people grew out of their 3000 series cameras rather quickly, or were disappointed to learn that features like exposure bracketing were not available. I'd rather have a feature that I'm not using (yet) than have a camera that can't do what I want it to. As for the lens, the 18-105mm is a great first lens. My D7000 has since been converted to IR and I've upgraded to FX bodies, but the 18-105mm still lives on that camera. I've had zero issues with it in 3 years. [/QUOTE]
