c8-sgt, a good choice?

Hello,
I'm new in AP, I have no scope yet. I think I'm going to buy a c8-sgt. I wanted to know what you guys think about that choice; my main goal is to watch the moon and planets such as jupiter and saturn. But I'd like to take some pictures of the moon and also jupiter and saturn, mars. I know f10 is not good for taking pictures of deep sky objects, but is it a good choice for planets and moon? I don't want to buy a guide scope or focal reducer, just the necessary stuff to use my Nikon D7100.
For eyepieces, I think about a 35mm for widefield and a 7mm (or less?) for the planets, I don't want to buy a kit. And a barlow 5x, is it too much?
That would be about it. What do you think? I appreciate it, thanks.
