I bought an advanced point-and-shoota while agoto see if photography was something I would be interested in. Turns out I like it a lot (especially sports), and even though I have a LOT to learn, I am looking to get my first SLR setup by mid-October. My dad coaches a hockey team and he said I could be the "team photographer" and go on the bench to shoot. Depending on how I do, I may sell prints to the kids' parents or something.


So I'm trying to get a decent setup (mainly for sports, but other things too) for around a thousandish. Under a thousand would be awesome though. Anyone have any advice on what to get for the price range/function I'm looking for?


So far I've looked at:


Canon Rebel XTi body, EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens, Speedlite 430EX II, EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II lens, EF 70-200mm f/4 L lens (I'd have to get that down the road).


Any suggestions on what else to look at or what would be good?


Thanks
