For a good "everyday" fast lens, get the 17-55 f2.8 IS USM. I just bought it and Canon is offering rebates on them as well!! Only $960 for the lens!! Its an absolutely amazing lens, fast, sharp and light weight (considering the aperture range it has).

Unless you're getting a FF camera, 24-70mm just doesnt cut it. OR, you can get the 24-70mm..

Also, I dont recommend the 50mm f1.8 as well. I'd recommend 50mm f1.4 if you're looking to get some real fast/sharp lens. the build quality of the 50mm f1.8 is a JOKE. again, it is not very well built and the quality is moderate IMO. The best performing aperture range is at 1 or 2 levels above, so at probably 2.0 or above is the actual performance/capability of the 50mm f1.8. 50mm f1.8 is $400, which is not too bad for a prime lens.

and believe me, the build quality on the f1.4 is night and day.. of course, if you get the dough, 50mm f1.2 L lens is absolutely amazing and fast! You can almost take that in any dance club situation with some tripod. (ok, i'm exaggerating, but you get the point)


PS. You can still find canon 20D now?? arent they out of production for a few years now?? (correct me if I'm wrong).
Oh ya about the camera i has it like 3 years ago already, but never touch it because i don't have time to play with it to know how to use it. All i use is just my digital camera.
Now it seem like i really like to take pictures so i'll try to learn how to use my own stuff, thank for your advice.
