Lenses >> body

The 1000D is a perfectly capable DSLR. Get yourself some decent lenses, find some nice light, and point the camera at something interesting.

Might help to let us know what your price range is and what kind of pictures you'll be shooting.

If your price point is low then you'd probably want to hit up the trinity of n00b lenses like the 18-55, 55-250 or 50mm nifty fifty.

If you have more funds available then you might want to invest in a good walking around lens like a 24-70 or 24-105 L lenses.

All depends on what you're looking to do and spend on the lenses.

If you want to get/have your own DSLR, then look at the EOS Rebel line from Canon as you'll get the body as well as kit lens to play around with. I got the T3i w/kit lens and really like it alot.

what lens would you recommend for about 150 $, i think the 50 mm says most because it like take picture very close
an example could be a flower, where i am very close

Get the 50mm F1.8 from Canon for ~100$. It's Canon's best value for money lens.

The kit lens on the 1000D is actually very capable. Learn about photography first, and then once you understand the Aperture-Shutter Speed-ISO triangle and have a knowledge about composition, then you can start to invest in lenses.
