How to use a nikon speedlight on a Nikon D3100 without extra components?

I have the Nikon D3100 and want to rent first, then buy (when I have enough saved up) a nikon flash. Problem is, I heard something about the d3100 not having something inside the camera to use nikon flashes… I don't remember what It is but I think it has to do with flash. And that I would have to buy some kind of cord or transmitter, or smething.

Question is, How can I use lets say the Nikon SB-800 or 900 without having to buy another $100 accessory? Does anyone know of any Nikon flashes that will successfully work with my Nikon D3100 without me having to by another cord, or something that will cost another $100?

I heard the SB-700 will work with my d3100 without anything else but I want to hear from people who know both my camera and lens well.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is using the Nikon D3100 without its lens okay?

1. I want the Nikon D3100, but I don't have much money. I found this camera at Radio Shack for only $300 IF you purchase it without the lens. I will buy the lens another time. Will I still get amazing quality without the lens?
2. This girl uses the Nikon D3100 with lens Nikkor 50 mm / f1, 8 and gets this amazing quality as a result. This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for in using this DSLR camera:

Thanks in advance! ^^

Added (1). No photos? Really? Then, how about high quality videos?

Added (2). Why are you guys being so mean? I'm only a newbie to all this camera stuff and I was asking an honest question. People are so rude these days. Geez louise…

Added (3). Wow! I'm glad I asked before I brought the camera. I don't get it though. At Radio Shack, I practiced using the camera and it took pictures just fine.Am I wording my question wrong? Is asking about using the Nikon D3100 without Nikkor 50 mm / f1, 8 lens any better? Doesn't every camera come with lens anyhow?

Which lenses would be best suitable for these kind of shots? (read more)?

1. Really close shot of eyes (like this one: image).
I want the shot to be really detailed and clear.
2. Same shot but I want like. The pupils of the eyes to be clear and the rest of it out of focus.

New Nikon DSLR to replace Nikon D70s?

I have a Nikon D70s body that I use for photo gigs and stuff but, I realized that I'm way out of date! I wanted to buy a new Nikon body but, a lot of them come with movie capability that I really don't need. Can anyone suggest a good replacement for this sturdy camera? Or should I even replace it at all and keep it as a back-up? I also have a Nikon SB 800 flash unit and will that work with a new body? Suggestions and answers would be really helpful: D
