I would try finding the canon 28-135 IS used, that could be had close to the 200 dollar mark. Very good lens if in decently favorable conditions. (mine got dust in the inner elements from Afghanistan) I would highly recommend that, and the higher end Sigma lenses are really good for the buck, cheaper than Canon, and Nikon, plus they come with a real padded case most of the time. I've had good experience with those.
I've heard good things about the newer kit lenes the EF-S with IS I heard was good. I'm sure you can find somebody offloading one for cheap. It may take some time though.

I was thinking about getting the 1.8/50 again but the range limits the usefulness and I don't really like changing lenses. |
