I totally agree!
It's good business for manufacturers to get photographers to join the 'megapixel chase'.
I'm surprised your 'experts' didn't say anything less than 20Meg wasn't worth having!
An 8 Meg camera with a good lens will produce results barely distinguishable from a 10 Meg one with the same lens. You should also be able to get a decent A3 print from it. You'd probably need a magnifying glass to see the difference on a print!
In your case, I would think the limiting factor is the lens. If you want to stick with Canon, get a recognised good lens for the camera and at a later date you can always buy a better body to go with it, and sell the 350D with its original lens.
