Likely not. The 28-135IS is definitely not wide enough on a crop sensor.

The 30D is now available as a kit with the EF28-135IS:

I believe that $1600 includes the 28-135IS lens, primarily because the bodies of the 10D/20D/30D/40D have been getting cheaper with each release, and $1600 is quite pricey. It makes sense that this particular kit includes an $400 lens instead of the cheapo 18-55 lens.

Plus, we should all consider that this is just Best Buy forcing customers to buy an expensive lens if they want the camera. The "official" kit lens could still be the 18-55.
