I'm beginner, planning to buy NIKON D3100, confused about the lens, should i go for 18-55mm vr lens which is available with kit? Or should i go for 18-105mm VR!

Buy the camera with the kit Lens because its cheaper, then invest in a Tamron/Tokina/Sigma (basically any non nikon brand that is a nikon fit because they are better value)70-300mm lens so you get a good focal range.

I have the Nikon D3000 with the kit and I'm also a beginner. The 18-55 is a good starter lens and take nice pictures. So for me I plan on saving up for another lens.

I would say get the camera body then get the 18-200mm f3.5 if you have the budget, The 18-105 is also good. I have a 105 and it gives me the zoom i need. If you can find a 18-135mm then get this or save up for an 18-200. Check the link below, it will help you

The 18-105mm has a longer zoom, hence 105mm vs 55mm. You could go with the 18-105mm if it fits your budget, or you could get the kit one and later buy something else.
