Re: Starter kit on a budget.

I would suggest a 550D (also called T2i) or newer, one of the cheap and cheerful zoom trio, 10-18, 18-55, 55-250, decent optics at reasonable prices, and the 40mm 2.8, which is nice, tiny and cheap. I would also budget for an extra battery, a couple of mid sized memory cards, and a bag your friend can grow into.
