Wanted: OT: Buying a Canon 60D, looking for Lenses etc

you mean the canon 18-55 kit lens? That is possibly one of the most aweful lenses ever produced. Fact. Its got bitching barrel distortion, horrific CA, terribly inaccurate focus and suspect build quality, even if it was free I would rather not have one.

Also as NEV, get what you want in the first place, getting low end stuff or things that aren't what your after in the 1st instance is pretty much only OK when you 'need' something to do a job, beyond that you just get frustrated. Buy L glass first time round or bust* :)

*generally I've also found it cheaper in the long run to just buy what you want, if you get something crap/ low end, it costs £££ whatever, and then in teh future that vision of just being able to trade it in melts as you find you can barely even give away kit lenses/ low end stuff.

The 18-55mm IS is actually a big improvement over non IS old kit lens.

The EF 50mm 1.8 can be got new fo £70, it's AWESOME (imho)
