The EOS 1100D is certainly a good price new at the moment. Having said that, I saw one in my local second hand store the other week for just £130! (Not there when I looked today!) The first DSLR I bought was a Canon EOS 350D. I bought the body only for about £100 and grabbed my father-in-law's old film SLR for the lens. I later bought a telephoto lens second hand on the market for £35 so managed to kit myself out for less than £150. If cash is tight, an older model and a bit of patience may reward you!
I now have a Nikon D5100 but if I'm brutally honest, I still prefer Canon. The deal I got was too good to pass up though.
