If you own any DSLR at all and have about $200-400 or so to spare for really basic lighting equipment, it is worth taking a rainy weekend to soak in the information at http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/02...-strobist.html Forget about spending money on top of the line cameras, and lenses. Spend your $$ on lighting gear. I shoot with an old nikon D60 I bought off ebay for $300.00 with the standard 18-55 vr kit lens. Come to think of it I almost spent as much on my Nikon SB600 Speedlight.
The following pictures range from natural daylight coming in the window of my shop in the afternoon, to on camera flash bounced, and then 3 off camera flashes modified with colored gels.
