Wider than?
The kit 18mm is pretty wide. Getting any wider than that will get expensive quick.
One thing you might try is take multiple shots of the area you want to cover and use the free canon photo stitch software to stitch all the photos together.
The key with this technique is to make sure the exposure is the same for all the photos. Find the desired exposure, then switch the camera to Manuel mode and set the exposure. Put the camera on a tripod and take multiple photos of the area you want. You don’t just have to do this in "panorama", you can also take photos above and below, and when you stictch the photos together you can crop it.. This will essentially simulate an extreme "wide" angle shot…for free.
Just a thought
Yeah, the 18mm on the kit lens is about as wide as you’re going to get for any reasonable amount of money. If you $800 or so the 10-22mm isn’t a bad choice.
