mmmm
any SLR setup + 1 "crazy zoom" lens WILL be 1,000 bucks or more no matter how you cut it.
just to give you a rough idea:
Nikon D50 body = $700 CDN
Nikon 18-200mm "crazy zoom" = $900
or
Sigma/Tamron 18-200mm = about $500 ish I think.
plus a memory card
plus a camera bag
plus some little things here and there
yeah dude, it'll be over $1000 with the kind of setup you're looking for.
I think you should do this :
get the Nikon D50 kit = $870 + a 70-300mm zoom = $120 used and you're set.
trust me, you WILL spend over $1000 once you start using SLR cameras.
