I am purchasing my first DLSR, the nikon d5100. This is for photography, not casual "oh, lets take some pictures of the kids" stuff. I was wondering which would be of better value: to purchase it with the kit lens, or buy it as a body only and get a better lens, such as the 55-300mm.My friend owns this and uses it as her main lens. She said it was around $200 (so cost isnt the issue). The question really is, which lens is the best for general use? Thanks!
