    The 17-55 and 70-200vr work well together, and both take beautiful pictures. Don't skimp on lenses.. And remember that they hold their value well. I by mine second hand from ECS in Sydney.. They have all been in excellent+ condition and are now years later worth the same as what I paid for them.

    Think I can safely wrap this thread up now. What I couldn't say earlier in case I got sprung, was that I was organising the camera for her xmas present.

    Ended up getting her a used D7000 body, and 2 Nikon lenses: a used 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 VR and a 35mm f1.8G.
    Should give her enough to play with initially while she gets the hang of the body then she can decide what she really wants/needs in the way of lenses after that.

    Thanks to everyone for your input.

    Me too just got a D7000 as well. borrowing a 35mm lens from a mate while I decide on a lens package. most likely a 18-140 and a 35. also toying with a tokina 11-18 very cool toy that one.

    took this one this morning in a very strange Fog for this time of year in port Macquarie.

    Good choice Steve. The 18-200vr is a beaut! Best all up travel lens from Nikon :-)

    I have owned 4 x Pentax DSLR models and each has been great. I am now on the K-5 and it really does shame the construction of similar priced models from Canikon. There is plenty of fast, high quality glass available for Pentax as well. My favourite is my 70-200mm f/2.8 by Sigma.

    One day when the D7000 gets old, consider a switch to the dark side
