I want to get a macro lense for the camera.
Minh- It can get more expensive than this hobby. I have three lenses now, a tripod, a shutter remote, and a few other goodies as well.
After all that, you have to process the pictures and they don't look anything like they should. It gets really frustarting.

So do you like the camera? I was thinking of getting my wife one also
If you guys want to talk about an expensive hobby - try underwater photography. My wife is part of an underwater photography club. Right now she uses a point and shoot. But she wants an underwater SLR unit. The problem is that the underwater housing cost $2400. The lense port costs $400+, and you need a different port for different lense. Don't forget the underwater strobe at $800 each - and they recommend two of them! Add on the scuba gear equipment ($1400) and the drysuit ($3K). Well - my reef hobby seems really cheap compared to her new hobby. 
Bladerunner - It's a nice beginner SLR. The lense that comes with it is kind of cheap. But any decent lense will cost $$$. I bought my wife a Canon EOS XTi with a Sigma 18-200 f3.5-6.3 DC OS and a Speedlite 580EX II flash . Actually that Sigma lense isn't great either, but I like the wide zoom range (which is nice for a beginner).

Shot in raw AND JPEG. It's much easier to adjust your image when it's in raw mode. My uncle (a professional photographer) did my wedding last year. He gave us all of the pictures in both RAW and JPEG. While the JPEG looked nice, we were able to use the RAW files in order to modify exposures on portions of the picture. I recommend a program like Adobe LightRoom.
Also - if you might want to purchase this following book. It's a pretty good intro book.
