Canon EOS Rebel XS 10.1MP Camera Kit at HSN.com

Nikon D5000 12.1MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens - QVC.com

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!!!!

The higher the Number on the lens the further object you can take a picture of & it will look close.

Like this picture i took with my 70 -300 lens

If your just looking to take picture's of the babies the kit len's is fine. Later if you want to get another lens to play around with i would say to get to 70-200.
