Beware: the CCDs in cameras are much smaller than 35mm, so the lens from your 35mm will not act the same. I bought the same brand so I could use my 28-200 lens, but it acts like a 45-320 or something lens, so I don't use it much and think I might sell it, thus selling the reason I chose my camera...

CCD size - not entirely true. There are many full-frame cameras out there now and have been for some time. They aren't in the general user range price wise but they are certainly attainable.
What you refer to is crop factor - sometimes mis-called multiplication factor. 1.3 and 1.6 are the most common. But you are right - with a non-full-frame your 50 would act like a 70 for example and so on.
