I'm interested in buying the nikon d5100 for filming videos, I will also take pictures but they aren't priority. I'm thinking of buying the body only so I can get a lens more suitable for filming. I don't want something extremely wide-angled, but also not something extremely zoomed. I don't need anything that can get an entire skyscraper from a short distance. I will be sitting in a chair about 3-6 feet from the camera and want my to be able to see both above the tip of my head and below my collar bones. I hope I specified enough. My price range is quite low, the cheapest lens that fits most of these guidelines will be the one I want.

Just buy the D5100 with the 18-55mm zoom lens that comes with it. It will be fine for your needs.
