The Canon 30D is a sweet rig. There's also the EOS 5D which is a little above your budget, but also gives you 12.8 megapixels, EF lens mounting for use with other Canon Lenses, full scan and full frame sensors, and the same RAW picture support as the 30D.
But remember, with the average price, it may not come with anything other than the basic body, or perhaps a basic 50mm lens. And, of course, there's Uncle Sam's cut of the mix.
And if you're going pro, you'll want a nice portrait lens capability, and with weddings, the ability to do telephone shots, the flash, and you'll also want battery backup. And always, ALWAYS make sure you purchase good 1A filters for all your lenses. They are very cheap insurance policies against impact damage.
Package deals can be a good bargain, but sometimes come with inferior lenses which make for short term savings, but long term headaches. So be mindful.
It can be easy to blow your budget when trying to get into something for the first time.
