I've got the 350D too, plus the 75 -300mm lens. I bought a refurbished 350d through Ebay and got good deals on the lens by shopping around. It is heavy to carry around so only have it if I'm definately out to take photos rather than chance snap-shots IYKWIM.
If you buy a refurbished one like mine, note that it may be a Rebel - the USA model. The spec is the same but you need an adapter for the battery charger.
