To simplify any lens with "EF or EF-S" in its name can be used.

Best buy market place is buying from third party seller not Best Buy.

But...........

"I was going to use bestbuy cause i wanted to buy it today"

Obliviously means going to the store which is an authorized Canon retailer.

The fast F/1.8 aperture will help in low light. It will also focus faster than the kit lens since the lens aperture is wider than the kit lens. Most of the EF-S 18-55mm kit lenses have a variable aperture of F/3.5-5.6 or the latest STM version F/4-5.6. Which doesn't help in low light or low contrast situations.

You can USE this lens, but do you WANT to?  On your crop-sensor T7 it will give the effect of an 80mm lens on a full-frame body. This is into telephoto range. 

If you want something more "normal" in field of view, the EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM would be more suitable. Or an EF-S 18-55  f/4-5.6 STM for a basic versatile zoom lens.

"This my first camera bro i don't know anything about anything"

OK that's fine we were al there once. Some advice is better and more helpful then others. The bottom line is if you see this in the name of the lens it will work. "To simplify any lens with "EF or EF-S" in its name can be used."

Now a little history, once upon a time most all cameras came with a 50mm lens as standard. And at the time zooms were not the best they could be. But today zooms are as good and some are better than primes lenses such as the 50mm. So today the trend is to have a zoom lens as the standard lens. It is way more easy to use and friendly. If you have a 50mm lens and it has EF or EF-S in it name such as Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens, it will work just fine. Your photos will look exactly like what you see in the view finder or LCD screen. Pay no attention to anything else.
