Digital SLR and Lens Advice Needed

[goodap]

Hi Guys, Im after a little advice.

I am currently in the process of purchasing a Nikon D80, I had a play with a Cannon 400D, but found it small and feeling cheap due to it being plastic.

The problem I have is what lenses to go for.Do I go with one of the kit lenses AF-S DX 18-70mm or AF-S DX 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED, then possibly adding a 70-300. I think the 18-135 would be a good walkabout lense. Or can I get better lenses for similar prices.

Any advice would be grateful, and it doesnt have to be a nikon lense but reasonably price nothing silly please.

Thanks

Paul

Can we have a little clue as to what you (mainly) wish to photograph?

Hi,

I like to photograph all sorts really, I do try and get close to my subjects though.

Main pictures I like to take are wildlife/motor racing and landscapes, aswell as the usual bits and bobs like social parties and weddings. Most subjects are static, except the motor racing if thats any help.

Thanks

Paul

18 - 70 and 70 - 300 will sort you just fine
