[QUOTE="frtorres87, post: 118396, member: 13078"] Hello everyone, I just decided to purchase a Nikon D5100 from B&H and I'm super excited to get it and get to know my camera. My experience with cameras is very basic, I've only ever used point and shoots or an iPhone. I've been doing some research but I still have a few questions. My camera will arrive with the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens, from what I've read it's a pretty basic lens, but I basically want to know what is this lens good for? I've also been looking into purchases a better lens and after some research I've narrowed my choices down to Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED Lens or Nikon AF-S Nikkor 55-300 f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Zoom Lens. Which one is better? Also what situations are these lens good for? I have a hard time understand what lens are good for what. Also what does all this mean "AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED Lens or Nikon AF-S Nikkor 55-300 f/4.5-5.6G"? I apologize in advance for the very newbish question but I'd be grateful for any help. [/QUOTE]
