I bought a Canon 450D about 3 weeks ago, and am impressed with the 18-55mm 
IS lens that came with it. I have long been a Canon fan, and have a couple 
of EOS film cameras, one being one of the two original EOS models that they 
brought out 20 years ago. I got that with a 35-105mm lens, and took a couple 
of pictures of the trees in the lab car park starting to get autumn 
colouring in their leaves.

Got a bit of a shock when looking at the pictures on a nice new LCD monitor. 
The 20 year old lens looks quite 'soft focus' in the brilliance of the 
colours compared to the new lens.
