I've had a look through all the posts on here and had a good look about the net myself.

Looking at the canon 350-d kit.

I know I would have to buy lenses etc in the future but the kit lense would do me just now.

Any better buys?

Is there any news of for instance a newer one coming out in the near future that would either make a better buy or a drop in price of the 350d?

Anything else I should be looking at?

I started off not even wanting a camera lol.
Not too much preferably.
I found the 350d kit on jessops for 466 i think.
I'm not counting memory cards and batteries etc into the price atm unless they came in a brilliant deal.

I'll get memory cards etc seperately they're not a worry.
Whats this I read about canon releasing a new camera about every year and a half?
Would this not mean there should be one coming out within next couple of months?

Is it worth waiting to see what they bring out?

I bought a 350d 4 months ago and love it, Canon won't release a replacement for it until at least next March.

They brought the 350d out at the start of 2005?
I take it a vivitar 70-210 I have from an SLR won't fit?
Just had a look and there are adapters for it.

There are adapters on ebay though.
Hmm just need to decide to waste 500 quid now.

Thats right, but they normally only release new models at the camera show in March.
