 | Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black)
Buy new: $639.00 / Used from: $575.00 Your best bet is to go with the kit (Body & Lens) It's a great lens out of the box and has IS (Image Stabiizaltion) The premium on the lens in the kit is only $100.00, which if you were going to purchase the lens separately it would run you $175.00+.
If you find the lens doesn't fit your needs later, you can always sell it.

It's not a cheap piece of glass, but consider this: the lens will outlast the camera body no question. So, when you're making the next Canon camera body purchase in 5+ years or so, you'll have an amazing lens to drop onto it right away.

 | Transcend TS8GSDHC6 8GB SDHC card (SD 2.0 SPD Class 6)
Buy new: $14.27 / Used from: $21.88 When it comes to memory cards, it's always a good idea to split the total amount of storage you carry around into at least two cards. That way if one of em' goes kaput you'll only loose 1/2 of your storage capacity.
Keep in mind you'll want the fastest cards you can get your hands on, with SDHC memory cards you'll want to stick with Class 6 cards.
