The A350 is a good cam but you do sacrifice some image quality for the tech. The range of Sony lenses is also getter better by the month. I would be inclined to go body only and buy a better after market lens. The 18-70 kit lens is not particularly good and you will only upgrade it anyway.

if you aint handled one yet then i would go and handle the canon / nikon / pentax equivalents , i found the sony to be uncomfortable in my hands and settled on the canon 1000d , a camera is an extension of you , if it does not feel comfortable then you may find it annoying you to the point of uselessness
