I have been considering upgrading to a the 350xt and was wondering what the total cost I should expect. I saw in another forum that Dell is selling the body with Kit Lens for approx. 740.00. What else would be recommended to make this a decent set up for a first time SLR user. I think I could sell all my P&S's with equipment for about 600.00. I would have to save the rest, could probably do that in a couple months.
I am wondering about Lens, Flashes, Memory, Filters, ect. Thanks

Has anyone ever purchased one of the kits that are on ebay? They come with the camera and a couple of lens and fiters. There can be some pretty good prices, but I think the lens are not that great. Any opinions? Thanks
