my girls dream is to open her own photog studio

go with a 20d alittle more but worth it and for lights www.alienbees.com. I like the higher end sigma lens not as expensive as the canon l series but pretty close in pic quality.

I just picked up the Canon rebel XT, very good camera especailly for a first timer, Lens look at the cannon lens for now and then there are more expensive ones that range anywhere from 100-10,000 a lens. I got the cannon 75-300mm lens and its a very good lens
