Well, I've decided to make the jump from Digital Camera (Sonly DSC-V1) to Prime Time Medium/Advanced camera.

But I've read some things on the lens that comes with the canon, so... Do you suggest I just get the body

and get a better lens?

If so, what lens should I get?

I'm thinking of getting a macro lens but I also take pictures of athletic fields, so I needed somthing kindof multi purpose, and if you suggest the stock lens then that's fine I just need to know for an Intermediate photographer, should I just stick w/ the stock lens, I mean i'm sure this one is better considering I'm coming froma Sony DSC-V1 even though that's a good camera, I'm sure this lens is 10 times better.

It would also help if one of you could give me the size that I need for that camera. And no one wants to buy a lens that dosent fit the camera.

Also, if you can please find another place where I can get the camera for cheaper if it isnt $30 or more cheaper, then don't even bother.
