Ignore the elitist who tells you that you need to spend $1000 + on a lens "if you really want to get great shots" -just not true. Take a Rebel, a kit lens and a cheap non-dedicated flash...know the right settings (in M or AV) and you can get some amazing shots...spend slightly more for an 85mm F/1.8 or a 100mm F/2.0 and again you'll be shooting like the pros.
