Make the 18-120 or what ever this new lens will be an upgraded EF-S lens for people who want a quality walk around for a crop body, it could even replace the 17-85 but retain ring usm and metal mount and non-rotating front of that lens.

Nikon put USM in it's DX lens so you can put it in EF-S, The 18-200 EF-S would have been so much better if it had USM. I though Canon said a few years back that it was committed to putting usm in all it's lens. Come on Canon new EF-S lens but stop using micro motors with the 18-200.

Nikon do it with all there DX kit lens why can't Canon. It has to have ring USM and non rotating front. Nikon do it with all there DX kit lens why can’t Canon.

Face it, with 3-stop IS for 70-200 I can shoot 80mm at 1/25s easily, on the other hand with my 85mm prime I have to shoot at 1/100 or so (maybe a tad slower) to be sure of a sharp picture and a lot of aperture advantage that 85mm 1.8 had over 70-200 2.8 gets lost in the process. 2-stop IS system in the new 500D or whatever will come next (60D or whatever) would make me upgrade my “ancient” 400D, I could not care less about a movie mode or some fancy articulated screens.

Your $150 kit lens will no longer cost $150 if you add a non rotating front element. I would expect it to double the cost at least. The lens will no longer be a nice "budget lens" for your 1000d. If you want specific features... they cost money. Turns out the 17-85 IS has a non rotating FE. It is about 450 if memory serves. You are proving my point.

Recommend a $1030 replacement lens for a $100 kit lens! You're right, that's definitely the way to go for someone on a budget with a Rebel 1000D! Are you Turbo Tax Tim by any chance??? Brilliant Suggestion!

Adding a non rotating front element would raise the cost and thus defeat the purpose of "budget". If you want an 18-55 ef-s in non-rotating front element, they make the 17-55 2.8 IS because that adds engineering complexity and build cost. the 18-55 is a budget lens.

I think there only will be a few new canon printers! Last year Canon announced the imagePRESS C6000 in Germany on 25th of March 2008. Right!
