I was wondering whether the new Canon EF-S lenses would fit onto the 10D, or are they made exclusively for the 300D and 20D? I read something about these lenses fitting deeper into the camera, possibly damaging the mirror. Does this hold for the 10D also?

I'm afraid so.

OK, thanks. Too bad, the new EF-S lenses seemed like a good deal for starter lenses, but only for 300D and 20D owners, then.

Yes, that's likely what Canon intended these for. Bear in mind though that someone starting with a new DSLR will be an intermediate user fairly quickly...

If I am not mistaken, the EF-S lenses only fit the 300D and the 20D.

seems canon is just testing this new mount out.
only a couple lenses - started with 300d, and now testing on the richer folks as well.

i do wonder if the new EF-S is any better quality than the 18-55mm EF-S

There is a tab on the EF-S lenes that prevents them from being installed on a 10D or other EF mount camera. There are some who have removed the tab on EF-S lenses so that they will fit on EF mount cameras. It's definitely a "proceed at your own peril" situation as you risk damaging the camera and I highly doubt that such damage will be covered by the warranty.

A review I read, DPReview I think it was, seemed to give the 17-85mm one the thumbs up.

I do not remember all the details but one thing I recall, which is what really appealed to me, was that the reviewer thought that the 20D/ 17-85mm combination was good enough to make it a single lens/body kit to take on vacation.

I admit that I like the idea of being able to travel with just body/1 lens and be able to cope with a wide variety of situations.

I will be picking up my 17-85 either today or tomorrow .... and if I had a body to go with it I'd be really excited *laugh*

Well judging by my "kit" lens... The EF-s range is pretty crappy...at least for my experience with the 18-55. I was told it was an attempt to create a short boby series to rival with the massively popular series from Tamron.

I think the 18-55 isn't very representative of the newer EF-S lenses. For a start they're significantly more expensive, and much better quality.

I sure hope so! but I have not seen or used the newer EF-s...and will stick to L-glass.

Despite a thumbs up from DPReview I can't see anyong forking out the bucks for the 17-85. The Tamron 28-75 sells for considerably less, is faster at f 2.8, and is widely tested and reviewed, known to be a very high quality lens, and it fits all the Canon DSLRs. The 17-85 is a more expensive, relative unknown alternative that will have less resale value because of a more limited number of potential buyers.
That said, the new 10-22 is interesting but kind of expensive, hope it gets reviewed soon.
