I'd advise against a Nikon or a Canon. Nikons apply lossy RAW compression and, to be honest, I just dislike most Canon models.
Plus, if you get a Pentax, a Sony, an old Konica-Minolta, or some Olympus models, all of your lenses will be stabilized- that means that your hand movement is compensated for. Nikon and Canon both do it in the lens, which drives up the cost. The brands listed above do it with the sensor.
>>60738 As far as lenses go, your best bet to get those capabilities the cheapest would be a wide-angle (for landscape) to medium telephoto (for portraiture) zoom, and a macro lens. If you're still going to go Nikon, I'd suggest the 28-70, the 105mm f/2.8G Micro-Nikkor, and just because you should have a normal prime, one of the 28mm ones, whichever has better optical quality. (I don't know.)
