I'm not making that mistake. I only intend to use the kit lenses until I can afford some others. I take a lot of nature and landscape shots. I'd like to get more into macro and available-light portraits. I make some money regularly with my photos (not a lot, but some), and have an idea of where my skill level is at right now and what I expect from myself.
Take the lens and photographer out of the equasion (even though I know they're
very important parts of the equasion)... the sensor in the Canon t2i can capture amazing images. 18MP, 14bit colour depth, pretty decent in low-light, handles noise fairly well. The k-r/k-x sensor seems to be very good too though... just less MP and 12bit colour.
