I'm looking for a starting kit for my photography. i have a canon powershot sx 20 is camera. and i was looking for a good kit with a white/black background, some kind of lighting, and anything else necessary for under 250 dollars. also, any advice on where to look and what brands to trust? or what i should look for on the internet? thanks!(:
Ignore the hot lights kits.
Instead, I'd suggest the following. You might have to go a little over 250$.
Get 2 YUNGTUO YN-460 shoe mount flashes. They are in expensive (43$) but work great. They just don;t have any of the fancy features you would use for on camera lighting but since this is for studio lighting it doesn't matter,
Here on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/YN-460-Slave-Flash-Canon-50D-40D-30D-5D-Diffuser-/230591676416?pt=Camera_Flash_Accessories&hash=item35b055c000#ht_4169wt_905

Then you can get a background kit with a grey motled backdrop like this one: (55$)

You'll eventually want to add more receivers, get 1 or 2 more flashes, get a black umbrella, maybe a soft box ... but the kit above should serve you well to start.
Here are some shots I did with a similar kit.
My website is a bit of a mess but here is a shoot I did for some model portfolios:
