any opinions on these three cameras (or alternate recommendations)
1. Canon EOS Rebel T3i
2. Nikon D5100
3. Sony SLT-A55

I'm looking for a camera that is good for family pics as well as outdoors when camping or traveling. Good video would be nice, but not as important. Also, I'm a relative newbie, but don't necessarily want a camera that I will grow out of as I learn and get better

the three have good reviews on DPreview, and similar ballpark for price

Secondly, is the 18-55mm lens that comes with these cameras worth it, or is it better to just get the camera body and buy the lens separately? Alternatively, are the kits worth the extra money - often package with a tripod, uv filters, camera bag etc
