I was thinking bout goin the 350D route as well but I started tallying up the costs for everything else and was easily close to $1000, not to mention, the stock lens on the 350D is crap compared to the one on the D50
I Have read things (here and elsewhere) that the 350D stock lense is crap

Can this be confirmed or denied by others?

And will this make the photographs less flattering for the beginner?

Would anybody else recommend the D50 over the 350D?
