I'm more of a hobbyist than anything so I'd ideally like something well priced for the product, but nothing too extravagant.

All the latest generation of Rebels and xxD models have greatly improved sensors from your model. Look at body-only prices to see what you can afford. Consider used, up to one generation old, or reconditioned.

I love my Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX DG diagonal fisheye, but it's $609 new. It's been around for several years, so you might can find a used Canon mount on Ebay, hopefully for under $500. I'd suggest that you focus on upgrading your lenses as you can and replace your body every five-years or so.

Here's a fisheye shot, defished:
