So lenses come into this as well? How much is the camera and how much is the lens?

Yes,Greg-its all about the lens! more so than body,Just had a chap down over the last few days getting serious into photography-I listened to what he wanted to achieve in photography and astronomy, and he looked at some of the gear I had in observatory. Usually when I have someone ask me advice and they have no idea what direction their photography will take-I advise the Canon or Nikon D/SLR kit.
But this fellow was different,he had been into photography years ago,and had some firm thoughts on what he wanted to achieve -he had a budget,so suggested a few options,with the Canon 600D and 70-200L F.4 been what I most recommended,he went off got that is most happy,along with a few other bits.
If you have firm ideas of what you want to photograph-get the very best you can afford-even if you have to loan a bit-its more than worth it.
Bodies come and go,glass is here to stay
