 | Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black)
Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $515.99 Very nice entry level Camera - a lot of bang for the buck. I also recommend looking into Nikon's lines with D40 and D90 coming to mind. The built in IS in the frame means the lenses don't need it (at the cost of perhaps better per-lens performance). But the Canon line is the most frequent choice of pros and prosumers alike and with good reason.

 | Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $407.99 / Used from: $299.00 Covers the most useful range and includes IS. It's a nice to have but not absolutely necessary addition to your frame. The kits come with the 18-55 standard lens which is OK, especially if you are just starting out.

 | SanDisk SDCFX3-1024-901 1 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card (Retail Package)
Buy new: $99.95 / Used from: $14.99 This is just an example of a CF Card. I'd actually recommend getting at least a couple of 2GB cards if not 4s or 8s. The prices continually drop, and you should always have at least 2 on you. Get fast read/write cards.

 | Slik Professional Universal Deluxe Tripod with 3-Way Panhead and Panoramic Photo Guide
Buy new: $129.95 Slik is seriously nice equipment to have and I always believe in investing in gear that's not going to break down. The price might be more than some, but in 20 years, it will have paid dividends. Mine is over 5 years old now and looks and feels like I just bought it.
