Have you considered a 15-85 as a general purpose lens? 24mm is not that wide on a crop.

I was considering the 15-85, but I could not track down an option that had IS and USM. Since I will likely be "shooting from the hip", I was concerned about camera shake without a tripod. thus, went with the next midzoom lens that had these options.

The nifty fifty - canon ef 50mm 1.8 is a great prime starter - perfect for those low light situations and available so cheaply, and the Canon ef-s 15-85 has IS and is USM.
