Hello, I am totally new to digital slr (slr for that matter). I am going to get a Canon EOS 350d/Rebel XT. I was wanting to buy the body only and buy separately a zoom lens other than the kit lens which I hear is not that great? My budget initially is pretty limited for a lens. I don't know anything about SLRs. Always used a point and shoot.
I like to take pictures of landscapes and other outdoor things (such as trees, rocks, etc

I was thinking of these 2 lenses:
Sigma Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto 28-105mm f/3.8-5.6 UC III
Sigma Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto 28-135mm f/3.8-5.6 Aspherical IF Macro Autofocus Lens
I have been looking for reviews on them, but I don't seem to find these exactly. So I don't know if they are good, ok or really crappy. They are cheap lenses I know, but that is all I can afford to begin with while I am learning.
Why I am thinking of them is because they have a good range. Wide angle for the landscapes, telephoto for things small at a distance like my husband climbing a rock somewhere, middle of the road for pictures of my baby and the bottom one has macro. They are fairly fast. Not the fastest but better that 6 +.
Any other suggestions for under $200?
Thanks in advance.
