Should be fine to get you back into photography and should easily last you a good few years.

Did think about D7000 but can't find any deals near to my budget of £1300 that include the three lenses and sd card.

Thanks anyway for your time

Derek

Looks like a decent set up to me. I'd rather have the 35mm f/1.8 over the 50mm f/1.8 on an APS-C camera but thats all I'd change...
