Kit lens is not rubbish, and can even surprise from time to time, but still has the worst quality, and it's not fast too, feels like a toy, I have one.
a much better, not expensive choice would be the new 18-55mm IS(Image Stabilizer).
Just get the body and this 18-55mm IS or, if you can afford it, something better.

I didn't say the kit lens was rubbish it's good if stopped down to around F8-11.

And as for the 18-55mm IS im actually tempted to go buy ones of these as people have said it's as sharp if not sharper than the 17-55mm F2.8 & 17-40mm F4L in some test's

I have the 17-40 L so it be good to see if it is actually as good as this lens, as people are making it out to be.
