Aisha, Kakabali, thanks for the advice an details.

Havin thought long and hard, I have decided to go for the Canon 30D, with Canon 430EXII flashgun, and the two lenses it came with (Canon 50 mm f1.8, and Canon 18-55 f3.5-5.6).

I guess, one of the factors was the excellent price of this kit my work colleague was selling for. With the money I am saving (just need to add a little extra), I will either get the ‘Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 VC’ lens, or the EF-S 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 IS lens.

Any thoughts on which one?

Go with Tamron 18-270. I have the Nikon version. Its a great lens, and trust me the VC function comes in really handy
