QuoteSomething to try with the kit lens (or any decent lens) is finding the hyperfocal distance and using that instead of AF.
The hyperfocal distance is a focus setting that provides the greatest depth of field for a particular lens length and f stop setting. It's a trick that landscape photographers use often to get the maximum amount of detail from a scene.
I've tried the hyperfocal distance thing with the 18-55, but couldn't get it to be as sharp as when using autofocus. Now that I too have a 10-22, I guess I'll try it again sometime, although I usually let the camera pick it's own AF point and set it to AI Servo... works most of the time.
And, back on topic, get the 400D, I think it's pretty much a no-brainer.

Thanks for that link. I was unaware of this product. Just ordered one for myself.

My only guess is that some of the internal elements got out of alignment or something. I've read in many reviews (on general photography sites) that the build quality of the lens is very poor (it is evident just based on feel, IMO). I would think that would translate into a short life... especially for a rough environment like freefall. It still focuses sometimes, but it is not consistent.
