Canon offers its DSLR cameras for sale in a couple of configurations. One of the most common options involves purchasing the DSLR with a kit lens or two. The kit lens is a basic lens that’s compatible with the DSLR camera. Using the kit lens, you can begin shooting photos as soon as you receive the camera.If you were to buy a camera-body only Canon DSLR, you’d have to provide your own lens, as one would not be included in the box.
