A better flash is an excellent idea. Canon makes several good ones and you will find them on the Canon website (www.usacanon.com). My suggestion here is buy a Canon manufactured flash, and by the best unit you can afford. The good Canon flash units will basically last until you break them and if you decide to upgrade your Canon equipment, will work fine on your upgraded Canon.
Buying a new lens is a different matter altogether. The lens that came with your camera is an excellent general purpose picture taking lens which gives you a range of slight wide-angle pictures to slight telephoto pictures, which should cover the majority of your picture taking situations to start with. As you grow into your camera system and find out where your picture taking interests lie, you will find situations that you want to photograph that are difficult when using the lens that came with your camera. This is the time to think about buying additional lenses, not now just to get a second lens. As your photographic interests develop you will add specific lenses to two pictures within your specific interest areas. At that time you’re ready to buy a new lens or lenses and you will know what you need to fulfill your picture taking interests. I suggest you wait until these interests develop and then get the right lens for you.

The external flash will make a big difference in your indoor shots. Get the Canon model that suits your budget.

As for lenses, you’ll need to decide whether to go wider (10-22) or narrower (70-300).

Hope this helps.

What lens do you have now? What kinds of things do like to shoot? Stick with a Canon dedicated flash unit.

Comment on do you like the Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens? by lil_yongobongo.Tek

The 18-55 lens will do for background blurring. If you are getting silver, I might want to advise you on getting a black one, it looks better with lenses and I found it easier to sell a black SLR then to sell a silver one. The best lens for background blur is the 50mm f/1.2L. Good focal length, and also good aperture. The f/1.4 and f/1.8 will do too.

Comment on Will a Canon Rebel XT work without a battery door? by Little Pooky

The door comes off actually when you connect the camera to the hand grip. So the seller misplaced the door (there is a place for it in the handgrip to "hide it") when you were sold the camera. Canon can get you a few one for a few dollars. My niece went through the same thing and she was able to get it in about a week. Go to a local camera store that sells Canon cameras (a real camera store, not an electronic store) and they can order it for you. It is spring loaded--you'd squeeze the little thingie and it pops back in place.
