I'd at least like the option of being able to use it should I go full frame in the future. Right now the only EF-S lens I'd consider is the 10-20mm because should I go full frame, my 17-40 would offer virtually the same wide end and I could sell off the 10-20mm. I was hoping for a lot more from the 30D as well. I was amazed at how much they offered when the 350D replaced the 300D and was expecting a similar increase in features. Unfortunately not. The only upside to this is that the 20D price will drop as they clear them out. I too am interested in the 17-55mm f/2.8 IS but that it’s an EF-S lens puts me off.

Imagine a lens with f2.8 and IS technology if you like to shoot in low-light. Also that is a nice range on the zoom. Still it seems pricey unless you are committed to stick the EF-S cameras and it also isn't L glass. Of course, I just looked at Canon's MSP....don't know what the street price will be.
