..but do not buy the old 18-55mm lens, it is a disgrace to Canon.

An optical and mechanical horror.

Their brand new 18-55mm IS replacement is the polar opposite.

Really really good optically (sharp, good contrast, low aberration, good geometry), and an outstanding four stop Optical Image Stabilizer.

And the price is about the same as for the old one (although the old one may get blown out at doorstop prices, although I wouldn't even trust it to hold a door open).

it was 799.00 with the 18-70mm lens and battery. Not quite the bargin of that Rebel XT model but i think it has more features and a 10.2 megapixel CCD - super steady shot, and all the manual features you can ask for.
