This depends to a large extent on the type of photography you intend to do and the budget you have in mind.......

What lens do you have now and what do you like/dislike about it?

And how much do you want to spend?

i have just the standerd lens 18-55 i just want my pics to be more crisp and clearer really dont want to go to mad with the price as only just paid for the camera

Show us a photo taken with this lens it could be your settings that are not giving you crisp shots, bad settings with a good lens will not give you better results

As i thought down to settings plus there is hardly any light , did you use a tripod ? with the look of the light you need a longer exposure
