Is a review of this particular 18-70 kit lens, which sounds good to me (though I understand Ken Rockwell is a bit of a character). But mostly, I like the range on this lens, and a similar range lens plus EOS body will set you back £1000, as opposed to £650 for the D50 with the 18-70 lens.
Kelkoo immediatly comes up with the EOS300D and 18-55 EF-S lens for about £650, a long way from the £1000 and on the same money as the D50. The EF-S lens is not backward compatible, though has been made to provide that day to day lens that most digital owners need when they upgrade from wet media due to the optical length change. I belive most reviews of it are favourable.

Though you already have a pile of Nikon lenses and kit, though the flash guns often dont work on the digital ranges, My speedlite 430EZ will not work on the EOS300/350 I would need a 5XX model.
