i was actually looking into buying this lens. it seemed like a good lens to start off with. decent range for different kinds of pictures.
you also gotta think about what kind of photography you want to do. theres a different lens for different pictures.

have it, replaced the 18-55mm with it as my general/walk around lens. it's great. the additional 30mm makes for great versitility
I guess you are aware that this is an "EF-S" lens and EF-S works with compatible Canon EOS bodies such as the 20D, 30D, 40D and Digital Rebel Series...i use this lens on my 40D, it makes a great walk around lens and being relatively small and light is a great advantage, plus image quality is quite good.

EOS bodies with the APS-C sensor size.
Right.

it is a great lens! buy it
17-85 is a decent lens. It's not razor sharp and has very pronounced geometrical distortion at the edges but much better than 18-55. Versatility is probably about the best because of the zooming range. AF is fast and very precise, IS does it's job flawless ! A better lens would be the 17-55/f2.8 but it's double the price of the 17-85 !
