Its sounding more like the 5100 is the best deal anyway. More growing room for you. Less megapixels than 3200, but no big deal. I'd probably go for the kit lens at first. 18-55 will give you some nice outdoor wider shots and some zoom, but not a lot. Many people start with that lens. The 35 mm lens is 'faster'. That means it lets in more light and lets you use a faster shutter speed and have a sharper picture in lower light without a flash. (Not that it will focus or snap a picture any faster) When you learn more about exposure, it will make more sense. I would start with the 18-55 and see how it goes. The separate 35mm lens will get you some more shots without flash. The 18-55 will give you more flexibility in framing shots, but it needs a little better light indoors for a shot without flash. or a higher iso setting (more sensitive to light), but the trade off with higher iso is lesser (but usually still acceptable) picture quality. So I would start with the included 18-55 lens. You will be able to do a lot with it. At some point, you will want the 35mm. It can usually be had with free shipping so its only a couple days away when you are ready for it. Another option is to start with a longer zoom 18-? to give you more zoom as others mentioned. In either case, I would start with a zoom of some sort and later add the 35. There are different paths that are ok. 18-55 or 18-105 or 18-200. The separate 35 fits in with all scenarios. If you go with the 18-55 now, someday you could add the 55-200 to get more range later. I would tend towards more zoom range now in one lens, but I don't want to run the bill up on you.</p></blockquote><p></p>
