Hello

Welcome to PR!

I would make one suggestion - others will probably give you more. I would suggest looking for a Canon Rebel 300D. I had that camera before upgrading to the 350XT. This is a great camera. You should be able to get it at a good price now. You could start with the Canon 50mm/f1.8 lens which costs approx $75 or less. It's a sharp lens with good color. It has a reputation for being one of Canons best low cost lenses. It's wonderful for a first lens. You could most likely get both for your budget. Whoops - what is the same amount is US dollars? I was talking dollars - $650.
