You can't go wrong with the 50mm 1.8 at 75 some dollars. That was my first extra lens I bought.
Hmmm, looks the prices got raised a bit, but you can still get it for $83.48 at Amazon w/free shipping and no tax.

back being low.
I never knew they had a 50mm 1.8 that's insane. Lol sorry for thread jacking but I never knew that and I think I might pick one up haha.

bitch please
EF-S 17-55 f2.8 IS is very nice (but expensive)
70-200 f4 IS L is awesome too.
Along with a 50mm f1.8, those two live in a crumpler bag with my 400D
I have hoods on both of those (but not the 50mm) to protect the lenses from stray dust/fingers more than anything else.
High quality filters on both since new too - for the same protection.
Both of those top lenses are worth roughly 3x more than my camera body.
But you can get great results with the kit lenses, so don't think you need to jump in and blow loads of $ on new lenses.
If you want to do more research - jump into

Why so serious?
I'm looking at getting an XSi eventually as well. I have a Canon Rebel G2 35mm SLR Camera, with the 18-55mm lense, and a 300mm lense as well.
I'm told those lenses will work flawlessly with the Digital Rebels so I'm gonna try and find a cheap body only deal.
Love Canon SLRs, excellent cameras.

50 1.8 is good for the price. Fun little lens to play around with.
I'm sure you have the camera in-hand already by now, but for reassurance, you made a good choice :smile:
Lens recommendations? It really depends on what you like to shoot. Wide angles vs telephotos, low light, etc etc. Once you start playing around with what you have, you get a better feel of what you feel you're lacking in your equipment (AF speed, not fast enough shutter speeds, etc). Canon 'L' series lenses are incredible, expensive but incredible.
There are a number of alternatives that offer good imaqe quality (IQ) for lower cost than 'L' lenses. When I had a 20D, one of my favourite lens was the Tokina 12-24 like Infrared suggested. Very sharp, very wide, colours were rich.
But...I'm a sucker for 'L'. Once you go 'L', there's no going back :biggrin:
