That lens is spoon I believe. The newer 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 has IS(Image stabilizer)(oh and this is an EF-S mount so it won't work on your film but will work on digital ones. Just check to make sure the camera you will buy accepts ef-s mounts.) and it has better glass so many people gave up on the old 18-55 and many people love the newer one. I suggest buying the body and getting the newer one HERE
It has much better Image quality than the last one. And another cheap lens you might want less than 100) is the 50mm f/1.8 it is GREAT for indoor shots and is REALLY cheap and has good glass HERE It is an EF mount so I think it might work on your film one as well. I need to get this lens. . . . with such a wide opening (f/1.8) you can take REAL fast shots. But it's a prime lens, good quality images but you cannot zoom (except the manual way that uses your legs) it's fixed at 50mm, which on a cropped sensor like the Canon rebel series is 1.6 so 50mm X 1.6FOV is 80mmFOV, think of an 80mm lens on your film camera now, that's the view you will get with the 50mm on a digital rebel.
