    I dunno. If this is your first DSLR i would just buy a basic body + 18-55mm zoom lens kit. I would buy a basic entry-level kit - something in maybe the 500-600$ range versus 800 or 900 and get familiar with the action and feel of a DSLR. Play around with it for a few months and then once you feel like you're ready to graduate sell it and get a bigger / better model.

    Something to consider as far as accessorizing...
    For a bag you may want something to house a few lenses and misc. gear (cables, cards, etc). Canon has some pretty decent bags out there. Really though I wouldn't buy anything too small because it's probably a better investment to get something you can grow into (because lets face it, you are probably going to purchase a new lens or two somewhere down the line).

    Also... and just throwing this out there... you might even want to get a used model from someone off of craigslist / ebay. Just a thought.

    • I agree. Learned with a D50 and loved it. Learned from friends and still miss that body.nthkl
