[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 608131, member: 9240"] I'll buck the trend. I bought the following bundles: D7000 & 18-105mm D600 & 24-85mm D750 & 24-120mm With the exception of the D600 which got replaced by Nikon with a D610 due to the shutter issue I still have all of them. The question isn't whether or not to buy a bundle, it's whether or not there's an available bundle that provides you what you want/need and can save you a couple bucks? The answer is usually, "Yes". At least when you get to the upper ranges. My recommendation would be not to buy too big a bundle. When they start including a second lens there's a chance that you're going to be better off with a lesser bundle and adding to it. In the D3xxx range you're probably better off with the body and another lens (they'll give you an 18-55mm and then perhaps a longer zoom - get a used 18-XXX from a reputable dealer instead).
