I bought a Cannon Digital Rebel XTI with a standard EFS 18-55 lens years ago, but haven't used it for some time. I recently had children and want to get into photography. I am a total amateur, so please bear with me!
I'm trying to figure out whether to (1) upgrade the Digital Rebel XTI body, (2) upgrade the EFS 18-55 lens, or (3) both. I'd REALLY like to spend less than $500, but could be persuaded to spend more.
Here's some information about me:
I like a versatile lens, but I primarily enjoy taking close-up portraits. Right now, I just print 5x7's to frame, but I'd like to explore printing much larger prints.
So, is my camera so outdated that I need to get a new body, or will I get more bang for my buck by buying a new lens?
Thank you for your help!

"In support of Ernie's comments, definitely PP is a part of the production cycle."
Trevor, I think you mean Canon DPP or Digital Photo Professional.

No Demetrius, I mean that PP (Post Production) as a process is part of the (image) production cycle, it would be too specific to say that DPP was specifically. That is why I mentioned it separately as a possible tool

I misread it and took it as a typo.
