I'm new to photography on a more serious level and I'm really thinking about getting a D7000 now. I did want to buy a D5100 last year but didn't in the end, but I think I would rather pay the extra to get the D7000 as it seems a bit more professional, and slightly bigger to the grip would be more comfortable as I don't have tiny hands.

Plus being out a year now the D7000 has come down in price a bit so more camera for my money now which is a bonus.

Been trying to take it all in with all the different lenses you can get. For me I would like the ability to take some nature / fast moving shots at distance with good quality plus some good macro close up shots. From what I can tell the Nikon 70-300mm AFS-VR F4.5-5.6 IF-ED Zoom will suit my needs for this (correct me if I'm wrong). Would it be fair to ssay this lens would be ok for for being pretty much an all rounder?

I would also like to be able to take some nice portraits and also some landscapes from time to time but unsure what would be the best lens for my needs so I would really appreciate some advice.

Thanks

It will good for nature photography and getting up close with distant objects. But at 70mm it's too long for many things. If for instance you want to take a picture of a large building you will need to get a long way back from it.

I would get the 70-300 but also get an 18-55 or 18-105 (or if you're happy to go 2nd hand the 18-70 f4.5-5.6 is fairly nice).

Have a play with the Nikon Lens simulator.
