Budgeting about $3,500 to start as I would like to just go for quality equipment. I always believed you have to spend money to make money and regardless of the outcome I'll have some awesome equipment to take great shots even if the shooting content thing never fully pans out. It's a learning experience first and foremost.

So far I'm going to go with the Canon 60D body and the 24-105 f/4 L USM but thinking of just getting both that and the 24-70 f/2.8 L USM if I can't decide which is better indoors. The 24-70 f/2.8 has no stabilization but is a faster lens. The 24-105 f/4 has the IS which should allow you to shoot in less light anyways with longer exposures - am I correct in that? Throw in some strobes and what really is the all around best choice?
