[QUOTE="GeeAirMo, post: 136000, member: 13522"] The D7000 is a fantastic camera! You could go a couple of different ways. The Costco deal is nice, but what you get is a basic set. You could get the D7000-$900 and have $2100 leftover for several lenses! Or spend $1199 on the D7100 and use the remainder for some lenses. Just remember, the lenses are just as important as the camera bodies. Buy a Prime Lens and a Zoom lens with the D7000/D7100 and you'll be off to a great start. Buy the D600 and buy a zoom or a prime lens for it. Don't forget to look for some used stuff too! BTW...D600 dust/oil issue is still not fixed. I just purchased one and had the issue within 1 week of using it. Nikon recommended that I send it in and it would come back "Fixed". They seem to know what the problem is and are fixing them, but they are not releasing which Serial #'s are affected. My local store was very good about contacting their Nikon rep and letting me know about this. They seemed confident that the camera would be fixed, but I didn't want to play the roulette wheel on which one I would end up with. At least not for $2000! [/QUOTE]
