When I bought DSLR. I bought only the body because the lens that comes in the kit are always crappy and almost useless in low light and high action shots. Get Photoshop CS2 (buy it or crack it) and download a tons of "Action Set plugins" which make the job of image editing a piece of cake (and takes a lot less time). Take a look at my example at http://www.flickr.com/photos/clairvoyant/325676389/ Use this DNG (Digital Negative Converter) http://www.dxo.com/ if you intend to shoot mostly in camera RAW format (I shoot only in RAW format). It is far better (and far more advanced) than Photoshop's camera RAW plugin.
