I agree with andy153, the D300s and the Nikkor 18-200 make a first class kit that will cover most needs, and as he says, it's a system that you can grow with. I don't see the point in buying a lesser/cheaper camera now only to want an upgrade in 6 months time. If in a few months you realise you want a longer lens for wildlife, then at least youll have a good camera body to put it on, (the D300s will take nearly all Nikons lenses going back years, not many other cameras can boast that) If you can afford it go for it, you won't regret it.
One thing I will say regardless of which system you go for, make sure you buy a good quality tripod and head to stand it on! Now tripods and heads, that's another subject to discuss!
