Yes--that was the kit lens for the Digital KISS. But the USM version of the lens is the one that's being sold independently now. Canon still state that the EF-S 18-55mm lens is not available without either a 300D or 20D. Which Canon? Maybe the subsidiary companies haven't yet caught up with Head Office. I have seen some retailers splitting up the kits (at least one case was to sell the body only when they didn't have a kit in stock) and selling the lens unboxed. I've not heard of any official Canon boxed EF-S 18-55mm lenses. That might, of course, depend on which country you are in: http://www.yodobashi.com/enjoy/more/i/cat_89_175_786/25148453.html (if I remember correctly they came out with a new 300D package with the new lens, but nothing else different)... Huh? When did "they" do that? The 'new' black 300D kit in the UK comes with the USM lens just like the Digital Kiss. I assume its the same with the US version of the black 300D. Ah, so it's just a repackaging of the Japanese black kit? Not a new kit at all? Incidentally, this isn't a Ring USM lens, so no FTM and not much of a speed increase/noise reduction from the basic kit lens. I had wondered about that--there was speculation at some point that the only difference was the gold band and the silk-screening around the front element of the lens.... __________________________________________________ ______________________ Louise Bremner (log at gol dot com) If you want a reply by e-mail, don't write to my Yahoo address! |

From Adorama I was able to buy a Digital Rebel body and an 18-55 USM lens,
separately, each in its own box, with US warranty cards. |

I can see that as the cameras ahve different sensor sizes but I don't understand why they wouldn't work on other Canon digital cameras that have the same sensor size such as the 30D or the D60. -- Israel Rodriguez http://www.tehawk.com http://home.earthlink.net/~tehawk |
