We tested the Rebel T1i as a kit with Canon’s EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens. This is the most popular kit option, though some retailers may opt to create their own custom kits with other lenses. There are a number of accessories available for the Rebel T1i, including a Battery Grip BG-E5 that holds two LP-E5 batteries or six AA-size batteries.
