[QUOTE="deafguy87, post: 572351, member: 42518"] The 18-55mm vr ii that come with the camera is not great in image quality and you don't really use the 18-140mm. So should I get a body instead and buy a len that is aimed toward for landscape, street/candid, building/architecture, macro, night time and black & white photos? I was researching for the best price on the cameras/lens 18-55mm is discontinued but used to sell for $160 18-105mm for $330 18-140mm for $440 D5300 body - $676.87 D5300 18-55mm - $812 D5300 18-140mm - $1106 D7100 body - $1015 D7100 18-105mm - $1377 D7100 18-140mm - $1355 Since you said 18-55mm is so-so image and don't really use 18-140mm ... so I might as well get a body and buy a len for my kind of photos like Danno suggested? I noticed D5300 with 18-140mm is more money than D7100 body and since you don't use 18-140mm or else ... I get the D5300 with 18-140mm and have that len sitting collecting dust and buying some separate len which seems like a waste where I can get the D7100 body with that separate len for the similar price as D5300 with 18-140mm plus another len or go even cheaper by getting the D5300 body and the separate len you get what I'm saying?
