Are you looking for a "real" camera or a nice point and shoot?
This is an important question.
Assuming you are looking at a dslr id go with one of the Nikon 3xxx cameras. 5xxxx is better enough if you want to spring the extra cash, but the 3xxx are perfectly suitable.
On lenses you obviously won't get the equivalent of a 1000+ lens, but the 18-55 and 55-200 kit lenses are decent, will give you very good quality pictures, and cover most all your bases for focal length. Personally I'd just get both. Keep in mind these (and the Canon equivalents, if you prefer) are 1.5 crop frame sensors so keep that in mind with how your focal lengths behave. If you've been out of the game awhile do hit YouTube and familiarize yourself with the features and menus. There's several good channels with extensive overviews on most cameras.
Oh and take advantage of the 30 day free trial and get thee a subscription to Lightroom and Photoshop for post processing. If you keep the gear to ply around its not to bad for the subscription to keep them. And for the love of pie, shoot in raw and convert after your post processing.
If you are looking for point and shoot I haven't looked in awhile, but i liked my Nikon coolpix P&S cameras best.
