[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 320820, member: 1061"] Kit lenses are just like any other package deal for other products: they're meant for the buyer to get out there and begin using their new toy immediately. Any kit/package deal item is usually: [LIST] [*]Inexpensive [*]Average - low quality [*]Versatile [*]"Good enough" for Average Joe [/LIST] And that's pretty much what you get with a kit lens. More experienced shooters who are upgrading to a new camera typically already own other lenses, so they go with the body-only option. Newbies just entering the market, or hobby shooters are probably going to stick with that kit lens for awhile. Soccer mom types will probably never buy another lens at all. I still use the kit lens that came with my D90 (it's now attached to my backup D40). It will probably never see any [I]serious[/I] action again, but it's just fine for taking birthday photos and the like. [/QUOTE]
