Hello.
Being new to the group I thought I would just jump in. I have to digital cameras, both Kodak, with the latest being a Z-612 (the Z-612 has been satisfactory, but it is starting to act up and the time for a replacement is at hand); however, I am now in the market to step up into something more sophisticated. I've been researching and am considering the following: the Canon EOS Rebel T3i, the Nikon D5100 and the D7000. I am looking to purchase a "bundle" that would include an additional lens or two and other "goodies".
Would anyone care to offer suggestions as to what you recommend or enjoy using during your photographic journeys? Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

I'm a dedicated Pentax man, but for optical quality I'd look towards Nikon to be honest. In damned near every 'head to head' featuring Nikon, their performance seems, on balance, to edge everyone else. Were I now starting out in the DSLR world I would go for one of their cameras without a doubt...
...Having stated that, I love the whole Pentax thing and they're certainly no lightweights when it comes to quality kit.
