Rating: Summary: Awesome...and a metal lens mount. Review: I bought this camera recently and i love it. its lightweight fits comfortably in my hands and best of all has a metal lens mount, not plastic like many of the other rebels.
Rating: Summary: Beware - lens may not be as described Review: The description of the 28-105mm lens says 'II USM or III', but beware many retailers, including the one on the amazon website as of 12/04, sell a lower quality lens (still EF 28-105mm, but with the MM class autofocus (slow and noisy and based around an electric motor driving a geartrain). The older lens is no longer sold separately by Canon, but is still in their "beginner" package as of 12/04. I have talked directly with the Amazon retailer, and their verbal claims are different than those on the amazon website. Beware! Also, this lens has plastic lens mounts.
