The guy is looking to spend 1000-1400.....


Camera body, 2 kit lenses, sd cards, cpl or other filters, camera bag, tripod, any type of extended warranty for anything...

Someone who is just getting into it will get much more use out of all of those things than a prime.

I just saw this pack on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005AKCSC8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=A36VT43W2I07N0

is this a good price, I was looking in bhphotovideo but the lens would take around 7-14 days to arrive, and since i will be in NY the next week I don't have all this time ( I'm brazilian and here just for the body of a D5100 I would pay around 2k )

You comment on how bad the 18-55 is and you suggest a lens that is worse but covers more range?

Still would get more use out of what I suggested along with some accessories.

i recommend the D90 over the D5100 etc
but which ever you select i would say either get:
- 24-70 f/2.8 sigma
- 17-55 f/2.8 nikkor: http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/zoom/normalzoom/af-s_dx_zoom17-55mmf_28g_if/index.htm

but they would just be out of your budget

The 18-55 is pretty bad, the 70-300 is decent but not for what you're shooting.


Not really.

Ok so from what i have read so far I decided for the Nikon 5100

, I'm still not sure about what lenses to buy, should i buy the kit with 18-50 or should the body and what other lens or lenses?
