That's exactly the sort of question a kit lens helps you answer for less than $100 when bundled with a new body. My hunch, based on my 35 prime, is that you'll find 35mm on a DSLR to be not as wide angle as you might prefer. Of course, if you're attracted to primes, I'd really strongly consider you take a look at Pentax, which is the only manufacturer currently producing new prime designs (Canon and Nikon both used film optic formulas for their digital prime lenses) for DSLRs. Pentax's primes are extremely good, and there's a WEALTH of variety available, particularly if you are willing to get older used glass. You can also get Canon and shoot Pentax glass through the use of adapters.
