So I got into photography earlier this year, and purchased a Cannon Rebel with a kit lens, and have been practicing with it over the summer. As time goes on, I'm beginning to think that this camera is just not capable of taking great photos.

After talking with a coworker who is a Professional Wedding photographer, who's insanely good, I started to think maybe I just need to get a better camera and nice lenses, so I can have much higher quality images.

Going on his suggestions, I'm about to buy pic related. The only other thing he suggested was a 75-200?? L lens, but I just can't afford to spend that kind of money on a lens right now. The one thing I do like, is that apparently this camera just came out, and he has the older model, so it'll be nice to be able to take better pictures than him.

Any suggestions before I pull the trigger?
