[QUOTE="Mike150, post: 101617, member: 2287"] Jake's answers are spot on... I will point out though, It seems to me that you are thinking the D5100 has built in zoom. (Like the point and shoots). [U]It does not[/U]. All zooming with a dslr is performed by the lens that is connected. Depending on where you buy, the D5100 can be purchased by itself (Body Only) or as a kit containing one or more lenses. Way back, (a long time ago) I bought my D60 kit with an 18-55mm AFVR. (AutoFocus and Vibration Reduction). I was also given the option of purchasing a longer zoom lens (55-200 AFVR) for about half price if purchased with the camera kit. Places like CostCo and Best Buy will offer a fixed kit (no changes to the kit). In most cases, a dedicated "Camera" shop will be able to offer you changes to the standard kits. (i.e. 10-105mm instead of the 18-55). That will affect the overall price, but sometimes it's a better deal. [/QUOTE]
