SLR Like... I have seen rebels with lense go for 700 or so...but how are those lenses that come with the kits? I figured if I did buy a rebel I might as well buy a couple of lense to go with it.... :hs:

the kit lenses arent bad at all. it pretty much your standard lense, but if you have a 600 limit and want a slr "like" camera, why not just man it up and get a slr?
