[QUOTE="peterjcb, post: 256940, member: 20634"] Hi all, I have renewed my interest in photography after a very long time. I still have my trusty Nikon F2 photomic 35mm film camera that I purchased new back in the early 70's at one of the NYC camera stores. Since then I've acquired all sorts of point & shoot cameras...Kodak, Canon, Panasonic etc....and a vast array of cell phone cameras, which I must confess has been my primary means of taking photos for many years...:o I'd like to familiarize myself with current available Nikon equipment available now. I am smart enough to realize that the lens is probably more important than the camera when it comes to image quality. First I'd like to buy a basic good used Nikon camera. I don't need the latest & greatest model, just something basic say 12-16 MP with a respectable ISO range. I'd also like some suggestions for a GREAT variable wide-angle lens say something like a 12-60 and also a really good 35mm prime lens. I'm also NOT looking for full frame equipment. What do ya got? :) Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
