The kit lens is okay if you open it up a bit, though its still kinda slow, if you're buying an XT, you won't notice any softness. If you want a good kit lens look at the Nikon D70s, though it costs a bit more. If you go w. the Canon, do yourself a favour and pick up their 50/1.8 for around $150.00 or so, its a great low-light lens, fast as hell at 1.8, and when you open it up past that its sharp as hell. The best thing you can get for the price short of their 50/1.4 or 85/1.8.
I bought the XT a few months ago, so far I'm really enjoying it, though the AF gives me some trouble in low-light conditions sometimes, but I blame that on the erratic lighting (shooting concerts for university newspaper) not on the camera itself. The 75-300 is a good, cheap zoom lens too, a bit slow, but short of an L series, its the best you can do for the price
