 | Canon EOS 30D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens
Buy new: $1,799.95 / Used from: $1,125.00 This is the camera and lens kit that I started with. I prefer the 17-85mm lens instead of the stock 18-55mm lens. I just gives you that much more range. The 17-85mm lens takes 67mm filters.

 | Tiffen 67mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit
Buy new: $57.16 / Used from: $49.00 Good kit if you like to experiment. The UV filter that comes with the kit also helps protect the 17-85mm lens. The polarizing filter and warming filters help with blues and earth tones, respectively.

 | Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM Lens for Canon EOS Cameras
Buy new: $1,145.00 I complemented my kit with this lens to get those far-off shots. It comes with its own hood. This lens takes 58mm filters. The image stabilization supports two modes - full stabilization and vertical only for those horizontal tracking shots - like runners or horses going by.
