It has some of the same glass elements in an L lens, but Canon won't put an "L" label on the EF-S line. It's a huge improvement over the 18-55mm kit lens.
agreed, the 17-55 is great for crop bodies, its one of the only Non-L lenses that has same glass as an L lens, but lacks the L label because it isnt weather sealed.

if you want more range, id get the 17-55 and the 70-200 f 2.8 IS/L eventually (worth saving for)

the 24-70 is really a perfect walk around lens for a full frame..but not so ideal for a crop
