So the lens is worth what, about $150?

XS is not outdated. It's just their lowest-end. XS and XSi are their entry-level DSLRs at the moment. I just bought a refurb XSi (better than XS) from Adorama for 470, no lens. The 18-55 lens is available cheap, and they have refurb kits with it as well for I think in the 500s.
I wouldn't have been able to tell it was a refurb.

The 18-55 isn't very good (I got the 28-135 for starters) but, hey, it's better than any P&S camera, at least. You can upgrade later.

the kit lens isnt very good. it's not very sharp and is terrible for low light situations. if you really want a kits lens, i'll sell you mine.

Abes' been lacking in the customer service area lately, but it's been around longer than yer mom so I doubt it turned to a bait & switch scam that runs out of NY nowadays.
Do some research before spewing stupid crap, dip shit.
Crappy deal btw.
*edit: nice filter Ben.

An F8 lens is not what I would recommend for a walk-around lens.

Since Abes is based in NJ they would never stoop to NY tactics to keep the money coming, what in the world was I thinking, NJ dealers have a rep to protect.
