So im guessing the 50mm 1.8 STM lens works better the the original 18-55 lens that come with the camera. i would like to know how much of a difference will show in my photo's. i will hate to waste money on bad quality. im new to this sorry!!!!!

The 50 STM is one of my favorite lenses.  It just works (unlike its predecessor).  AF is fast and accurate (in fact dead-on darn near 100% of the time).

You can shoot in much lower light conditions (its forte) than with the kit lens.  Plus you have better DOF control.  If the focal length suits you, IMHO it's a no-brainer.
