Nikon D7000 16.2MP DX-Format CMOS Digital SLR with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only),5.0 out of 5 stars The Best DSLR for Serious Amateurs, December 27, 2011

I purchased the D7000 with the starter zoom plus a 28 to 300 mm before Christmas during a heavy promotional period at already reduced price, at USD 300 off the 28 to 300 mm lens. The rest is up to you, you can take breathe taking PIX.

It is a great DSLR, as I grow up with Nikon SLR and now DSLR. You could be creative, take great PIX at various auto settings. If you do not mind paying a little more, Nikon is it and the D7000 is an excellent choice.

Oh yeah, I would not purchase non OEM filters to down grade the mighty Nikon optics. Yes, they are not cheap but photographs are memories!
