Brooke,
It really all depends upon how much you want to spend. I mean there are some great packages out there on DSLRs, but it is all upon what you want to spend and what you are really looking to do with the camera. If you want to take macro photography like my pictures you are going to need to invest some money. Not really in the camera itself as again, most people's eyes won't notice the difference between 12mp and 18mp. Granted I got my camera new when the T1i first came out, but my setup as I have it right now is about $1,700. The camera package I got being right about $1,000 and the Macro lens being about $700 after taxes and everything.
The basic beginning cameras from canon start at around $500.00 and go up from there. I don't know what I would invest anything more than the T1i which is $750 if you are not planning on using it for other things.
Here is the Canon link to all there camera's with a stock lens on them, so you can get an idea of the prices...
CANON CAMERAS!!!

Even then you wouldn't notice the difference. Most people are not going to blow up pictures the size of banners. For even a 11.5x14 photo you will not notice the difference between 12.2 and 18mp. Not if it was the Canon Mark 1D that might be a different story considering it is like 37 or 39mp.
For most people who aren't blowing up pictures past say a 10"x10" photo, it will all look the same. I say get a cheaper body and spend the extra money on a better lens. It will make all the difference in the world.
