Re: Upgrade (from 350d/Rebel XT) advice

+1 to getting one of the newer Rebels with the 18-135 STM kit.

SL1 for size.

T4i/T5i for articulated screen, extra FPS, etc.

T6i/s for improved IQ and resolution, etc.

And I'd highly highly recommend budgeting for the new 50 STM in the future (if the focal length suits you).  It's just a wonderful lens, no matter the cost ($125!).  It's nice and sharp, colors, contrast, and bokeh are a bit better, and the autofocus is absolutely stellar (I had 2 copies of the 50/1.8 II previously).  Note: if you want a little more breathing room, the 40 STM is just as good.

Good luck in your search,

R2
