decided to go with the Nikon D5100 but

I think you would be better off getting the D5100+18-55 and the Transcend w/card reader (if you don't have one) for about $779.

Actually you should get two cards for backup and convenience. If your budget is limited, get two class 6 cards, otherwise get some UHS cards for fast transfer to your PC.

yeah, most of the packages include the card reader.

if you haven't gotten one already, it's also a good idea to have a backup battery. they're cheap and just keep it charged just in case.

photograhy's like you only get one chance on many things. would suck if your battery died.

Eh, spare battery could honestly wait until you get your feet wet.

I have actually never had a camera go dead on me because of the battery, but if you are doing something extremely important... then it is a good idea.

UHS = fast -> expensive, important for RAW
Class 6 = not as fast -> cheaper, but slower transferring to PC and with RAW but can still do video
Slower than class 6 = too cheap for video

And I was suggesting getting a stand alone card reader and just body+lens instead of wasting (some) money on kits since most of the stuff in them really is worthless
