1st decide on Canon, Nikon, Sony-Konica-Minolta, Pentax or ?. All equipment that follows will depend on this 1st decision (save for good tripod and pan-head).
A basic body and lens is all you need to start. Canon Rebel XTi is excellent. Save the rest for the lenses you will be wanting. A single lens can easily blow your $3500 budget. Most folks overspend on the body and underspend on the lens.
