Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM SLR Lens 1
This is the Kit Lens that came with the 30D purchased new from National Camera.
Pay attention to the title. If the lens is marked just as the title, then we are on the same page.
Don't get suckered into a kit lens.
It will end up on a deep shelf a month later.

Don't test lens performance in bright sun or showroom.
Go to typical dim area to see what you need to do without flash to get decent results.
Now put on real lens to compare.

I ended up with the Wide Angle EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Autofocus for about $1200.
This lens is built the same as the red banded L series quality, but made special for the non full frame digital cameras. Like most of them from 50D on down.

The kit lens listed in title is 1/10 the weight, and 1/4 the physical size.

NOT a USM3
I dont know what lens everyone else here got but look at the photo on this product page.. this is NOT a USM lens, it does not say USM anywhere on the lens which means it is NOT a USM lens, at least the one I have is not a USM.

Was good when first purchased... 2
I have this lens, because it came with my Rebel XT. It was the first SLR camera I ever owned, and good deal that it came with it's own lens. Well, when I first had it... it worked pretty good. My pictures were pretty sharp and good quality.

NOW, it looks like I take pictures with a child's toy digital camera. I use it on my 20D now, and it is HORRIBLE. My pictures are blurry and not sharp, you can see EVERY pixel. I mostly shoot models, and it's NOT cutting it anymore. I bout the 50mm lens, and the quality difference is incredible. I really would be baffled if anyone bought this to OWN. It's okay for a lens you get with a camera, but besides that, I think it's the worse lens out there for Canon cameras.
