Many people have that lens because it's easy, sharp, good focal length, small and convenient. You have to use your legs as the zoom!

I only suggested it due to the fact that it's a great lens and only $75 and you could use your new camera and take your time making a decision as to which zoom to get! However, I know the feeling of wanting a zoom right away. Twice I've purchased a kit lens not knowing what else to buy, and twice I sold it within a month. That was for the Rebel 2K and the Rebel 300D.

It's not easy to make these decisions. Sometimes it's frustrating.......but when you get that camera..........it will be worth every brain cell you used to make the decision !
