I'm looking at buying a new camera but it might be a couple of months before I purchase it. I'm going to shop around quite a bit, hopefully find a lens locally that I want. I'd rather test the lens in person and then find one on eBay in good condition. The bad thing is that I haven't really created a budget and the digital SLR model and lens I want are very expensive. I might wait until the end of the summer when I'll have more in savings and when I'm absolutely positive I want what I'm buying.
Here are the prospective pieces:


Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT






Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
