I've done a lot of research and looked at a lot of cameras. I've narrowed my choices to the D5100 or the D7000 from Nikon. Most people have told me that the lenses are the major component. Invest more in high quality lenses to get the most out of a body. I'm torn between ordering a 16-85mm Nikkor, which is supposed to be one of the best DX lenses available, with a D5100 or a better/tougher body in the D7000 with the 18-105mm kit lens it ships with. Either way, I'm going to end up in the same price range. I'm really having a hard time deciding which is the better choice over the long haul. I usually shoot a lot of landscapes, bracketed shots for HDR, and (my current camera has no bulb) I'd like to get into ultra long exposures of the milky way, star trails, etc. That is about 95% of my shots, I'll order the 35mm f/1.8 for any indoor shooting which will be minimal. Which combination do you think will be the best investment for my style, the 16-85 D5100 or the D7000 w/18-105???
Thanks!
