I just ordered my DSLR yesterday (Rebel XTi), so I'm about as noob as you, but for me, I don't like to buy EF-S lenses that work only on digital cameras, as one day I may graduate to a full-size sensor body and I'll have to sell all of them and buy new ones. Just something to consider when you want to invest in lenses.

No, you do not need a digital specific lens.
There are some lenses that are specific to some digital SLR cameras. The reason for this is because most DSLR cameras have a sensor that is smaller than 35mm film, which most existing lenses were designed for. The smaller sensor made it hard to get a wide view so they made lenses with a smaller image circle. An example of this is Canon's EF-S lenses. They will only work on the Digital Rebel (300D, 350D, 400D) and the 20D & 30D. Those cameras, however, will accept any of Canon's EF lenses.

Correct, if you have a Nikon, you can (For the most part) use any lens Nikon ever made. I believe Canon is partially like this too, though if I recall correctly the really old canon lenses won't work ( But if I'm wrong I shall be corrected virtually immediately, and by 12 people hehe).
Paying for a lens? Well, that all depends. I can pay anywhere from $69.95 for a Tamron 28-80mm (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=97388&is=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation) lens all the way up to $9000 for a Nikon 600mm f/4 ED-IF II (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=248293&is=USA&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation) lens. stupid question - Django users | Google Groups:: 3 posts - Last post: Dec 13From: volk23 <vol@gmail.com>.

And that's brand new - you can score all sorts of deals by looking around eBay and such. Trust me, lenses are one area you don't want to skimp on!
Hope that helps!
I think you would enjoy using a 50mm f/1.8, and the very shallow depth of field it will provide.
If you are a beginner when it comes to photography, I would look at getting one of the cheaper DSLRs, and just get the kit lens, which usually sells for $100 with the camera. If you want, you can also purchase a 50mm f/1.8 lens for under $100, which is a great lens to have. Unless you can tell us specifically what types of shooting you'll be doing, there's not much more advice to give.
Well, im not a complete Noob, if you do a search for my username, you can see a few pics i have taken. I like to play about with DOF more than landscapes etc... But i have noticed most the lenses provided with a cheaper SLR seem to have a pretty minimal aperture range! i have been using my dads DMC-FZ5 up until now, but as i say this money will burn a hole, and i fancy spending it on something have decent, my dad will use it as well (if he asks nicely) lol! Probably gonna do a bit of shooting photos for sports etc... as well!
Infact, just had a thought, forgot about this! http://simonch.deviantart.com/ but if you check that out, it will give you a better idea of what kind of stuff i take, as i said, not a complete noob! any further advice will be greatfully recieved
Thanks Guys
P.S. i hope its nicer where you all are than it is here Scotland!
