Photography Camera / Props ?

I'm looking into getting a new photography dslr camera. Any suggestions as to which one would be the best? I will be taking portrait pictures of people only and would like to spend no more than $1500, which I realize is less than what a lot of photographers normally spend. I've been looking at the Canon T2i? Anyone familiar with that camera or know of one better?

Also, what kind of props are considered essential? Black / White backgrounds ... muslins? Seamless paper? Which is best?

Thank you so much for any and all tips or suggestions :)
