Re: Should I get a kit lens or not?

Like for example, here's one of my photos taken at ISO800 at short focal length at F8 with the Canon 18-55mm IS kit lens at our parade this past weekend on a very cloudy day with rain at times.  The first one is the entire image resized (with no other post processing).  The second is a 100% crop of the same picture.  I know there's variances when different F-stops and focal lengths are used.  I just wanted to show this as a quick example.  It's time for me to get off the computer to be ready for work tomorrow...so we can talk more later.

Resized image with no other post processing as a straight-out-of-the-camera JPEG.

100% crop with no post processing of the above
