Hello all

New to the forum and am currently upgrading to the D7000

My question basically is how is the kit lens it comes with. I have the option to save the 300 or so dollars and get the body only.
I currently have a nikon 50mm 35mm and Tamron 28-75mm lenses.

Does it pay to get the camera with the kit lens or save that money for some lighting equipment/lens

Thanks!
 
Just get the body and get a better lens since you already have some to work with. Put the $300 towards faster lens.
 
Thanks! any suggestions on another lens I should look at...after seeing what I have?

What do you want to spend? What do you shoot? You have low/mid tele covered with the Tamron, so probably a mid to long tele. You can pick up a used 70-300 VR for less than $400... it is a good lens, very well thought of in that price range. I wouldn't recommend anything less than that range.. or you will end up with consumer grade / kit lenses. Don't know much about the third party lenses in this range.
