All I can say is do ALOT of research before you buy. Don't make an impulse purchase. Checkout Nikon and Canon, read reviews make an informed decision. Out of your examples above I would go with the 3rd. Mainly for the crop factor the higher mp count gives you. Or see if you can get the xti body only with some upgraded glass having 17-85 mm is going to limit you in the type of photos you'll be able to do. My walk around lens is a 18-200vr but that's on a nikon d80. In the long run it will save you money to pay once for a more expensive/better suited piece of equipment "body,lens" than buying then selling to upgrade. Take a class at your local community college or camera store. It's a great hobby to have and goes along with most other interests you may have.
