Something to do out of the box, but ...
1 van 6 vinden dit nuttig I received this "kit lens" with my 20D, used it handful of times, and never used it again. Let's not beat around the bush -- it's not a quality lens. It'll do for snapshots and does better than I thought stopped-down, but the colors and sharpness are just not there to do justice to a $1400 investment in the body. The positives of this lens are that it has a good "walking around" range, it is very lightweight, and is completely disposable. The 18-55 mm range is quite nice and, because I love wide-angles so much, I was pleased to see that this was selected as the kit lens. It's also very lightweight (at the serious expense of build quality). The lens is light and has a cheap quality to it. However, for anyone with a serious set of lenses, it actually is disposable. Feel free to shove it in your pocket when you're out of space in your camera bag, or use it in harsh environments without a filter. If you really destroy it, there are dozens of them for sale on eBay at any given time for little more than a song. It's these saving graces that actually allow this lens to stay close to my camera bag.

Great options, but know what you're getting
157 van 165 vinden dit nuttig I love Canon cameras -- I've owned 5 of them. So when someone asks me for a camera recommendation, I like to assess what they're looking for and move them up or down the scale accordingly.
This camera does very well on its own. The flip-out LCD is a huge benefit and it makes it very easy to do self-portraits and set up photographs in awkward places -- much easier than my Canon EOS 20D SLR at quadruple the price. The optics are clean, the interface is clean and simple, and the photos come out looking great in the end. Not much more to add -- it's a great camera! The only downside I would say is that it uses 4 AA batteries, which are not included. A set of nice NiMH batteries and a charger will serve you just fine and you can buy alkaline AAs in a pinch if you're away from home without a charger, but most other Canons include a very nice rechargable battery. So add about $25 to your cost.
However, before jumping on this camera, know exactly what you're getting and whether this one is right for you. You should consider moving up to this camera if the SD-line of cameras (SD350, SD450, etc.) don't provide you with enough control and you want better manual controls (focus, aperture, exposure), a more powerful flash, and substantially better overall photo quality. The obvious downside from the SD-line is that it isn't shirt-pocket sized anymore. Then this camera may be right for you.
You should also consider skipping the A620 and moving straight to the Canon Powershot G-line (G5, G6, etc.) if you want a faster low-light lens (f/2.0 vs f/2.8), better noise suppression at high ISO, a flash hot-shoe (and much better flash control), and bracketing. You also get an incredible BP-511 battery with amazing lifespan. The G-line is also larger and heavier and obviously more expensive.
If you're sitting in between an SD500 and a Canon G6 with no intention of getting an external flash, this camera is perfect.

Another must-have lens
53 van 58 vinden dit nuttig You've heard the adage before ... invest in lenses, not the body. After a starter "walking around" lens (I opted for the Canon 17-40mm f/4L), I wanted a lens for sports photography and getting candids of people without being in their face. This lens was the perfect addition. My copy is tack-sharp at all focal lengths and I've taken some terrific sports photos. I have a Canon 20D, so the 1.6x crop factor kicks in to produce a 320mm equivalent lens. The camera isn't heavy with this lens attached, and it stays pretty well balanced. For field sports, the f/4 produces enough bokeh to highlight the subject. The build quality is superb (as with all L lenses).
There are non-L lenses that are worth considering if the budget is tight, but don't match the colors and sharpness of this lens. The 70-200 f/2.8 L is also a good lens, in both IS and non-IS versions, but this lens is substantially lighter and more flexible. I will probably move to the 2.8IS at some point, but this lens is fine for now. There are no issues for daytime sports. At dusk, the focus will have problems and f/4 isn't fast enough.
I do encourage friends to consider this lens not only for its performance, but its long-term value as well. I bought my copy used, and I can still sell it for what I paid for it -- Canon lenses hold their value exceptionally well. Keep it in good condition and years of ownership will cost little in depreciation. Aftermarket lenses may cost less upfront, but you are likely to lose as much or more in resale value than having bought a Canon in the first place. And the extra build quality of the L lenses is important to keeping the value up.
I have to admit ... I do like the look of the white lens, too. :)
