[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 487041, member: 25095"] Being new to photography, this question is tough because it's hitting across multiple considerations so it really comes down to you. What are your goals/aspirations from photography? The D7000 is a pro-sumer body, and has all the controls of a professional camera right there on the body without having to go into on-screen menus. If you want that full manual approach to the camera, that is a plus. the D5500 is the latest/greatest on the consumer/beginner bodies, so matched up with the 18-140mm lens will be capable of great images, but lends itself to using more of the camera automation versus manual control. If that's where you think you want to stay, it's a great body. if you anticipate starting small to learn, and then want to work up to higher end bodies, I really like the suggestion on starting with a D3300 to learn the ropes, and then you'll know more about what you want from a D7xxx/D7xx body at that point. hope that helps.
