This would be a great package: D3100 DSLR Camera with NIKKOR 18-55mm and 55-200mm DX Lenses at BHPhotovideo for $496...

Although it sounds like you want a super zoom ...zoom capability I'm guessing 30x - 40x." The 200mm lens won't give you that kind of zoom. A "superzoom", of which there are many are pretty good. I still use a Kodak Z712 when I want quick shots.

A DSLR takes some time to learn to use. Look for a local class on photography (I don't know where you live) that offers lessons on learning about lenses, light and exposure. Using a DSLR in "auto" mode kind of defeats the purpose of buying one....

That looks like a good deal. I was looking at the D3200 earlier. Can’t tell what the difference is between the D3100 and D3200 — would whatever the difference is matter to a novice like me?
