I realize this question is very open ended and therefore somewhat stupid. Forgive me, I have no where else to turn for help.
The yearbook coordinator at my school recently asked me to find her a new digital camera with lens options (DSLR) and I have been out of the loop for some time so I have no idea what I'm looking for. I'm also not really that into photography beyond owning a very basic SLR of my own. I need everything for this camera: body, good lens with a little zoom capability, bag, expansion flash card.
Can someone recommend me a good DSLR with everything for under $1200? I was looking at a full Nikon D70 package from ButterflyPhoto.com that looked good but I really don't know what's out there.
We need something that can take good action sports shots as the last one we had (Minolta DiMage 7) was POS in that department no matter how gifted the photographer.
Thanks in advance.
