But I really don't know whats best to get. if I'm spending this amount on a camera, I don't want to out grow it either, ya know?

Also, can someone explain what the different lenses do and what I need them for?

As you can tell, I am a big newbie soory if my questions seem silly!!!!

you will not outgrow either of these cameras- like i said before- now you will just be buying lenses that change your photographs- you should not have any need for another camera- unless you plan to do this as a profession.

I don't know much about lenses. I only know that the 50mm helps create that blurred background effect. You might want to do some research online about lenses before you buy any.
