Selecting a new camera help...

[junkmanhunter]

OK folks, I have asked this before and had some good input. I have done some research and am ready to pull the trigger on a camera.

Kind of preface what I will use it for. It will be used for hunting photos 25% of time, Family and grandbabies 50% and vacations and all other 25%.

I am going to New Zealand this year so I will be breaking it in there. I will need an auto Focus so wife can use it while hunting and with Gbabies.

My absolute budget is to stay under $1500. If a $600-$750 camera will work, then i'm fine with that. I have a little knowledge and am willing to learn how to grow my skills and become more of a photographer than a picture taker.

Here are a couple package deals I have found, what do the experts recommend? If there are other suggestions, please throw them out there.

Thanks for your input.
