<p>I called Canon Tech Support and their Rep stated that it was a good possibility that I had a defective lens. He also mentioned that the lenses in these kits were low end lenses and stated that a better quality lens would make a big difference. I packaged up everything up that came with the Canon T5 kit and returned it to QVC. I think that it would probably be better if I just purchased the body separately and then ordered better quality lenses. Again, I really appreciate everyone thoughts and suggestions.</p>
