[QUOTE="Blacktop, post: 349850, member: 22693"] Sounds like you're enjoying photography. I would suggest the D7100. If you are buying new, then I would get one with the 18-140 lens combo. This will cost you around $1400.00 If you get a refurb 7100 for 900 dollars and a used 18-140mm for around 300 dollars, that's only a 200 dollar savings. Spend the extra 200 and get it new. After you use this combo for a while, you will start to see which focal range you use the most. If you're mostly shooting at wide range, like 18-50 mm or so, and you think that you would like to go even wider, then invest some money in a really nice quality wide angle lens. If you are finding that you like to shoot at the longer range of the lens, then go ahead and invest in a good quality long lens. I would not suggest starting out and buying expensive glass before you figure out what it is that you like to shoot. The 18-140 is a great zoom lens that will teach you a lot. After you figure out which quality lenses that you desire, then you can sell your 18-140 as it holds it's value really well, [/QUOTE]
