Re: consider the balance

Unfortunately, the better lenses can cost much more than a camera body.  Is there that much more of an improvement?  Can you show samples of photos taken from a less expensive lens and one taken from a more expensive lens (all of the same type)?  What lenses do you have in mind?

The kit lenses are a bargain and the quality is high.  I would imagine that Canon doesn't make money on the kit lenses if we are able to get them for half-price.  For example, I got my Canon 55-250mm IS lens for about $150 as part of a bundle.  Now, for us to get something like the 100-400mm L lens (the next lens that I would like to have), I'll have to pay ten times as much.
