[QUOTE="nickt, post: 486350, member: 4923"] Another vote for the 18-140. It is a great lens and you can pretty much leave it on the camera. At some point you can get a better zoom, maybe a 70-300. The 18-55 is decent lens, but 55mm is an awkward break point for a lens change. You will be able to do a lot more with the 18-140 without needing to change a lens. If you think you want the d7200, just get it. I don't think that the d5300 will be any easier to learn. Learn the basics of exposure (not a big job). That is the relationship of shutter speed, aperture and iso. THEN read the camera manual. A lot of new comers dive into the manual without understanding exposure principles and then they get frustrated because the manual doesn't make sense. If you take a few hours/days and learn exposure principles you will have a much better experience reading the manual. [/QUOTE]
