SLR lenses help plz!!

For land

60mm over the 105mm, 60 is more flexible and offers same 1:1 if you want to shoot macro stuff.

also i think you would be fine with the 18-200, its a flexible lens and good to start off with

I agree with Mike.
Considering that you're not sure you're going to get into u/w photography the 18-200 is a very versatile lens for learning. the 12-24 out of the water on the other hand is just a wide angle lens.
The 18-200 and a 60 will provide you with almost every opportunity to practice and learn from w/a to 1:1 macro. These are the only two lenses I have in my everyday land bag.

Will a 12-24mm, 18-200mm vr and a 60mm be okay then on land?

60mm f/2.8 micro is prime and the 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 is a zoom lens. Both are nikon lenses.

Memory Card... that's a good idea. You won't be able to take pictures without it. I have a 4gb card. I can take 240 pictures in RAW with that.

Probably a 2 gig memory card, a bag for the camera and your lenses hmmm and perhaps a lens cloth?

I'm just talking out of my head now, I don't own a dslr so couldn't tell you what else is needed.
But I'm sure other posters who do own one will chime in..

EDIT - Perhaps a tripod if you want to do some night shots or anything like that..
