I'm looking into getting the Nikon d3100 but am not sure whether or not to get the 18-55mm or 55-200mm lens. I like taking wildlife, nature, macro, and street photography.

The 18-55mm is a good start, maybe moving onto the 55-200 later.

Neither is exactly great for macro, but the 18-55 is a superb lens for street photography - so the short answer is both - but the 18-55 first.

I just bought both recently. The 18-55mm will be the better of the two to start with. The 55-200mm might have too much power for street photography. And the 18-55mm not enough for wildlife.
