I appreciate everyone's input so far. LeDave can you tell me why you suggest I go with the K-x? Is it just based on budget alone?

Well, after a couple months of reading on beginner/prosumer dslr's I think I am finally ready to make my first puchase. I am leaning towards the K200d. It was between that and the Canon Xsi, but after seeing them in person the k200d seems to be more solidly built. I also like the idea of weather proofing. The other main factor is price. Like many, I can't afford to dish out thousands on new gear.
This will be my first dslr. ATM I have a Canon p&s that does have some manual capability, but obviously is pretty limited in what it can do. The issue I am having at the moment is deciding on whether or not to get the kit. the other option would be to get a refubrished k200 and then have some money to spend on a couple of lenses. But the idea of having a refurb is somewhat scary, as there is always the thought of having problems with one.
I like to shoot macro (mainly flowers), I like to be outside shooting nature (landscapes), and I also like to just be out and about shooting whatever catches my eye. So about 90% of what I like to shoot is outside.
So I guess my question is, would it be better just to go with the kit? Or would I be better off going with a refurb and snatching up a couple of lenses that would suit my shooting styles better?
I am still reading and learning on lenses and aperature, so I'm also not sure what specific lenses would suit my needs.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I am open to any ideas. I have been reading the boards and all the great insight and information. It's great.
Thanks in advance,
Justin
