UPDATE - Wanted to say thanks again to all who chipped in with their valuable advice.

I plumped for the Nikon D5200 (which came with a 18-55mm kit lens) and I also bought a 55-200mm Nikon lens (well, my partner chose that one!). We thought that would give us the "range" for now but I'm sure in a couple fo months we'll be trading up to specific prime and zoom lenses

So, a big thanks again

Enjoy, keep us posted how you find it and that 55-200mm cannot be beat for value and will be getting one myself at some point, first on my very long list is the 35mm f1.8
