Ask Engadget: Pentax K10D, Nikon D80 or what? {Engadget}
Sep 6th 2007 9:15PM You could buy a D80, an f/1.8 50mm (75) lens for macro and speed shooting, and a 70-300mm (105-400) vr for shooting slower sports.
With that setup, you can take macro pics from a little ways away, you get a pretty decent range for shooting sports, and VR to help you ease into your camera. The only downsides to this are that the 70-300 isn't the fastest lens for shooting sports, you lose some close-range flexibility, and the price is a little more than you specified.
For $1000, you wont get much more than a body and a starter lens. If you were willing to spend around $2000, you could get a f/2.8 80-200mm (140-300) vr and a d80 kit w/ an 18-135 lens. That would get you fast sports shooting and some pretty decent range.
