Nikon D7000 and those were taken with the best all around lens I have which is a AF-S Nikkor 18 - 200. It's on the camera 90% of the time.

Greg, I'm thinking about getting one of these from Costco. Would you buy it again? How is the video it takes?

Also, Consumer Reports rates very highly the Sony Cyber-Shot RX 100, an almost DSLR as well as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 and DMC-G3K.

Costco has the combination I have -- the D7000 body and the AFS 18-200 on sale for $1500

I bought mine before Costco carried it - and already owned the lens... but this is a smokin' deal at $1500 !!!

Oh hell yes I'd buy it again! Love the camera -- and the lens (while not expensive per se) is great and extremely useful.

I have lens only that cost double this amount (camera and body) and they don't take any better photos that I can tell. The AF-S is stabilized and that really helps for hand holding this length of camera in zoom...

I took zillions of photos with this camera (using my far more expensive 70-200 - thus faster) and it just cranks 'em out.
