Thanks to everyone! I got way more info from all of you than I ever expected...I've been doing a ton of searching around the web too. I'm going to definitely keep a list of the recommended lenses and flashes, everything for the moment is definitely out of the budget. I was hoping to use a gift card I have to eBay, but I don't like making big purchases there. Hopefully I can find a camera shop nearby and be able to get a better look at things before I make the purchase. Knowing that I won't be able to buy anything soon, I took a better look at the manual (imagine that!) and played around a bit with the ISO and WB for the indoor shots...so far so good. I just attempted a round of RAW shots today, so I'm looking forward to checking those out on the computer.
Thanks again for all the input!

Thanks for all the help...I was definitely thinking of the 50mm prime to start out with, the biggest problem at the moment is the $$$ for it. With the indoor shots now, we have a few windows in our family room, only they are facing northwest, so the natural light is hard to use until late afternoon, and for only a short time anyway...I'll have to keep that in mind the next time we move ha ha. Anyway, I was starting to think maybe a flash could help a bit, and not cost so much...I saw some under $50 on eBay, but I don't enjoy saving $ to buy a piece of junk that will be trash in a year anyway. Do I have to splurge on the flash or would the Digital Concepts TTL do the job?
Thanks again.

Hi all...I was very excited to find this forum after getting my first DSLR for Christmas. My husband was wise enough to purchase the k100D for me instead of a Canon or Nikon ;), and I have been practicing with it everyday since getting it. Aside from self-improvement, I am trying to figure out what else will help me improve my photos. I take mostly pictures of my boys (3 and 1) inside the house. I'm wondering which would be the better first purchase...a new lens or flash?
Thanks!
