Re: Upgrade lens (from kit lens) for 300D

Let's say you're going to upgrade to a new lens. You can - and probably should - consider the newest kit lens from Canon; http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/18-55mm-stm.htm

By most accounts this is a very good lens and probably well suited to the average shooter for years of use.

Then look at Canon's direct sales/refurbished products; http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/refurbished-eos-digital-slr-cameras?intv_id=0&cm_cr=No+Campaign-_-Web+Activity-_-No+Name-_-Widget_CanonCategoryRecommendationWidget_34303-_-Refurbished+EOS+Digital+SLR+Cameras-productImageLink&catalogId=10051&mpe_id=234265&evtype=CpgnClick&storeId=10051&ddkey=http:ClickInfo#facet:&productBeginIndex:0&orderBy:11&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:&

Prices change weekly on the refurbished gear and often reflect the amount of product Canon has available.  However, you'll likely find a new camera with that kit lens on sale for not much more than you would spend on just the lens.  Canon will also give you a bit of a trade in for "loyalty".
