I use the 18-55 kit lens for 90% of my shooting, and it hasn't failed me yet. It is a good size, has a reasonably small aperture, and the build quality is very premium.  If you were to invest in another lens, however, get the 18-135. It is an amazing all-purpose lens, and when I had it, I never took it off the camera.

I have the 60D, and bought the kit which comes with the 18-135mm lens. I have to say that the zoom range is wonderful, my only warning is that it auto-focuses very slowly, although that's the case with most lenses on that level.

Lots of people knock the kit lens, but it's actually really good.

Sadly, Costco has stopped selling the T2i in the US, last I checked, which is unfortunate, because I would recommend it to just about everybody.

I have the T3i and it is practically the same. Only difference is T3i has slightly better software and a pop out screen. I got my T3i cheaper than what Chiro paid for his T2i. So I would just now recommend the T3i instead.

Yes but I got photoshop, premiere, and a tripod as well.

You would have been better off not bundling all that stuff and buying good software and a good tripod. Slightly more expensive but you get far better stuff.

Actually the tripod is REALLY good. It can reach up to 6'2. and the software isn't that bad either .
