Re: Canon EOS Xti and what lenses?
One other suggestion: if your budget is tight to begin with, you may just want to start with the kit lens ($100 if purchased with the XTi). While I've never owned this lens, from what I've read it's not bad if you stop it down to at least f/8. For landscapes, you'll be stopping down the lens anyway. Get used to the camera, and add lenses as you figure out what you need.
Also, for the indoor events you mentioned (school plays, etc.), neither of the telephotos I mentioned will be fast enough to get the job done without flash. Fast telephoto lenses can get pretty expensive. The Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 is least expensive zoom, and it's $1,000. The Canon 70-200's are about $1,200 and $1,600, depending on whether you want image stabilization or not. If you can live with a prime in this range, the Canon 200mm f/2.8 L is a little over $600.
