hey /p. I'm a noob. The only camera I have right now is my iPhone 5, which I've taken some *relatively* decent pictures with, but I would like to buy a real camera. What would you recommend I get as my first real camera?
A pic from iPhone.

Body: EOS 30D/40D/50D Lenses: EF-S 24mm and a 50mm 1.8.
Older bodies are just not good enough, and newer bodies are expensive and make files that are too big and too much of a hassle. The Nikon equivalent are just as good. If someone recommends a Sony, murder them on the spot. These people can't give good advice on technical OR artistic aspects of photography, so ignore them.
If you want to get all srs bzns and get really good, start with a Zorki 1c and the 50mm it comes with, to get a fundamental understanding of how to take a picture.
Use catalog to find a gear thread next time.

IPhone cameras are actually incredibly optimized
it ain't a bad thing to use a phone camera and easy filters, despite what /p/edophiles tells you
get a k1000 and a 50mm f4 macro to take photos. get a k70 to scan them.

I am pretty sure that this is a step up from what you appear to want in the picture besides the iphone.
