I've got a Canon EOS XS in transit as we speak. I'm new to the DSLR side of things so I wanted to master the kit lens first, and get a better lens as I progressed.

Newegg had the kit for $450 new, and the EF 75-300mm lens (while not super great, is enough for me to learn on for a while) was 45$ more or something with the combo.

I figure by my birthday in May, I should be experienced enough to take advantage of a better/more expensive lens. Good to know the Sigma lens is decent, have to put that on my list of lenses that are reasonably expensive to look at.
