quick DSLR?

I know it has been asked so many times but I can't find the posts. What is the best lens to get for a beginner to get with a DSLR? I am looking between Cannon and Nikon. I want something that works indoors and outdoors. Thanks!!

I have a Canon Rebel and the best lens to get with the Canon is the 50 mm f/1.8 in my opinion. I couldn't tell you anything about Nikon, though.

i have a similar lens for my nikon - 50mm 1.8.  it's my go-to lens in most situations.  when i'm not using that, i have a 35mm for wider shots.  i rarely use the zoom lens that came with the camera.

I have a Nikon and I love it.  I use the 55-200mm lens that came in my kit.  I wouldn't spend too much money on your first lens.  Learn to use the camera before plunking down tons of cash on a higher end lens.

Thanks ladies! I am going to look more today. I think I am going to get a body only camera and 1 lens to save $.
