You guys are fucking crazy. The kit lens sucks donkey balls. Let me put it in simple terms: The kit lens will not get you by because when you extend the focal length, it automatically reduces the size of the aperture, thus completely fucking your exposure. I can't think of anything that will make you want to smash your lens into a million pieces like variable aperture kit-lenses.

Go with the Canon (NOT SIGMA) 24-70 2.8. Sigma makes some serious garbage. Clunky motors, mechanisms that are flawed, etc. Sigma is like the lens equivalent of a Yugo.

Maybe go with Sigma if you like their trademark "SCREEEEEEETCH, SCREEEEEEEEETCH" when you focus.
