Last question I had was in regards to a good all around lens for the 450d. I'll use this for some shots of the kids and whatever else I'm messing with. I'm fine with looking into something used, is the kit lens any good?

Thanks!

I would recommend three lenses:

1. If you want a zoom, the newest kit lens (EF-S 18-55mm STM) is quite good, if you are on a budget. Very silent and fast focusing, much better than the previous 18-55 kit lenses - NEW $250 (or ~$150 on eBay) - It is worth it to get the newest version of the kit lens. (the STM one)

2. The EF-S 24mm 2.8 STM - The BEST all-purpose prime for a crop camera (like the 450D), it stays attached to my SL1/100D. Very small too. $150.

3. The EF 40mm 2.8 STM (~$150) - Or the 50mm 1.8 II (~$100), both cheap and good for portraits.
