Hi Guys,

I am looking to purchase a DSLR i currelty have a Panasonic Lumix TZ20 and its a quality little camera, although it has manual mode its a bit limted to what i want to do.
I'm currently looking at the Nikon D7000 (looks the goods) The reason being is that I want a camera that I'm not going to outgrow in hte next 5-6 years. I am looking at purchasing the body seperate to the lenses, as i have gathered from this forum most lenses purchased with the camera arent much chop, i could be worng though..... I've been looking on the net and there are all sorts of packages you can get with the camera, and im not sure what lens sizes i would need......

The types of photos i am looking to take included (surfing, landscapes, portraits and macro). I appreciate any input anyone may have as I'm a bit green....

Cheers,
