saabtech's beautiful nature thread and me getting a new HD monitor for my computer made me realize how terrible and fuzzy my pics are.
A few months ago I talked to princer about suggestions for a good entry level DSLR and she mentioned Canon Rebel but even with those these are tons to choose from.
Does anybody have any recommendation as far as a moderately priced decent entry level system would go?

A $700 package like this looks good to me but is it just a bunch of junk and focusing on fewer higher quality components would be better?
This package includes all of the following items:






Canon Digital Rebel XS Camera Body
