Ordered 10-22mm lens
. Decided to take a plunge and buy Canon EF-S 10-22mm. As everyone agrees it is a very good lens, especially for DSLRs where there's nothing that wide is available. Sigma 12-24 doesn't really count, it's for full frames. Though Tokina and Tamron will be releasing their 11-22mm superwide angles soon. Quality won't be as good as Canon's I guess, but will be cheaper. We'll see how this one will work out.

New lens arrived
. Again Canon, this time EF-S 17-85 IS USM. My first IS lens. IS rocks in certain situation. Not an universal cure, but still, does help a lot. Overall nice lens, wide, sharp. Nice
perspective and zoom. In short great all around lens. Does have distortin on 17mm, but still, at that angle...
Used it for one evening, took around 1000 pix. Results are more
than satisfactory. Could've been cheaper though, not L quality and costs 600$ in USa and more in europe.

Got 18-55mm lens
.As part of lens upgrade for EOS 20D got Canon EF-S 18-55mm. Not the pro level, but for what it's worth IMHO this lens does a lot. Perfect for party picture taking, when everyone is drunk including photographer ;)

Finally got new digicam setup
. That is Canon EOS 20D, new 2GB Sandisk Ultra II card and reader. Well, now I can take pix much faster, no 2.5 delay on startup :) Overall I like the new cam, definitely step up from 10D, although nothing extraordinary except startup time and faster focusing.
