oh boy... first off- feel free to change your font back to the default. No need to be garrish.

Secondly, you say you're looking to do landscape and night photography. What kind of night photography are you looking to do? If you're just looking to do more landscape work, but at night, high ISO isn't what you want. It's long shutter speeds so either a smaller aperture or a ND filter, or a combination of the two.

That said, how serious are you and what's your budget? We can give you recommendations for the ideal landscape setup, but it'll cost you several thousand.

zoom and lowlight are an expensive combination in lowlight world I would suggest you look at a D5000 as it's a lower cost body with a good sensor and the kit 18-55 for a zoom and a 50mm 1.8 prime lens for lowlght, such a kit would cost 7-8 hundred I think, my knowledge of current prices is out of date

If you want cheaper, you have to sacrifice low light quality, the above kit is a fairly good compromise you can go cheaper and alot more expensive

for landscape photography, you'll really never be going away from ISO 100 or 200 anyways. Night photography, you never answered my question: is it just more landscape at night or do you want something that'll work well in low light? If it's just landscape, you'll still be sticking to ISO 100 or 200. long shutter speeds are your friends. If it's the latter (general low light capability), then the D5000 is fine.

the 18-55 that kits with the d5000 is a gem for the street price. Bundled with the 70-300mm or the new 55-300mm, you'll have great range for not too much.

Well, higher ISOs are good, but wider apertures are just as good. High ISO = faster shutter, but more noise. Wider aperture = faster shutter, but less DoF.

Wide apertures pretty much means 35mm f/1.8 if you go for the D5000 as it won't autofocus with the 50mm f/1.8, but either way, you get a nice, cheap gem of a lens.

So D5000 (with 18-55mm kit) + 35mm + 55-300mm = $1350.

$950 if you opt out of the 55-300.

Even cheaper if you go used/refurb.

oh- the only reason i mentioned the 55-300mm is because you said "good wide zoom also w good lens for zoom" and assumed you wanted 2 lenses there.
