Default What in the world?!?

C'mon. I got my Canon Rebel XS today in the mail, and guess what? NO LENS! My goodness, is it that hard to pack a lens with a camera Dell? (I ordered it from dell, because it was only $500 there) Guess you should never order a camera from Dell, who makes computers, not that their computers are that awesome either, haha.

Maybe they want you to hook it up to the computer and use the screen as a lens

How dare they sell a camera without a lens!

Oh wait, is that what "body only" means?

Hey dude do you still have the box the camera came in? If you do put it back in the box and send it back to Dell and tell them you are too stupid to own a camera. HA HA HA Just a little humor, no mal intent intended.

haha. Yes it clearly stated a lens was to be including. The dell website says it, as does the email they sent to confirm it was shipped, and the paper that came with the box with info about the order, and also the box it came in. So 4 places.

Hey look at it this way without the lens take the cover off and you would get a really great depth of field. You could see it on your computer when you took the shot.
