The way I look at it if youll be taking pictures in cigar bars you need the faster lenses. The 50 is good bu sometimes you don have enough room in a crowd. Thats why I say the 35mm. All depends on what you will be using it for mostly.

A vacation option would be the 18-200. We've been through this before its not a PRO tack sharp uber lens, HOWEVER, for vacations and taking pictures in the moment it gives you great range.

The T1i is a great choice. With 15MP and a 22.3 x 14.9 mm sensor you are pretty golden.

If I do switch from my Nikons with will be to the T1i , 50D, or borrow indefinitely a 5D mark II
So, the T1i is a good choice of camera for a newbie. The normal lense is just fair and I should look into a telephoto lense for more diversity.

I plan on taking the time to learn the "ins and outs" of this camera to take all kinds of pics.

Would this package I found be a good starter kit?...
