What about this lens next?: Canon EF 50mm F-1.8II

Any Canon are good i must say. It all depends on the size of your prints. But remember even a 21mpixels camera can take bad pictures as it is not the camera which creates the composition and all that but the person behind it.
Remember Filters as well to protect the lens and Dslr cleaning - always useful to clean the dust from Sensor.

I would probably get a canon 100mm f2.8 macro or 60mm f2.8 macro for product shots.
*just because a lens says macro on it doesnt mean it can shoot macro very well. Look for 1:1 magnification macro lenses.

I bought this one refurbished as my first DSLR camera too :)
It's really good. I would prefer to be able to see a picture without having to look through the viewfinder, but that feature is not absolutely necessary. I also had a problem with connecting it to my Mac and iPhoto after about 2 months of using the camera (it worked fine on a PC), but maybe that's an individual problem with my software or my camera, who knows.
I think that's a good choice of lens. Probably my next purchase :)
(I bought the 70-200mm f/4.0L USM and the pictures are crisp, but I want something more versatile).

Grab a card reader Jaline, its much faster and doesn't use your battery that way. The cards just boot like a external hard drive on mac or pc.
If you can afford the the 50mm f1.4 you will be buying a much better lens than the 50mm f1.8. I opted for the Sigma 50mm f1.4 for a whole bunch of reasons but it costs more than the Canon 50mm f1.4.

DPI 300 is good to have good prints but all depends how big you will print as well.
However, if low resolution (on your camera = 6 mgpixels) but high DPI it might pixelate.
So, use yr camera to the highest res and then 300 dpi on Photoshop.
And then Bob's your Uncle!
