Sorry to revive the great debate here but a couple more questions.
Through all the info from here and elsewhere Ive decided on the canon series. Question is, the new models usually come with say a twin lens kit. One would assume that these lenses are of a good quality, but how good ?.
Would I be better off buying the body only and buying a really good all round lens separate. I would like to use it for everyday use with a decent amount of zoom say 200 - 250 mm ? Would a lens of this type also be suited for wide field astrophotography.
The 450d seems very popular at the moment with proven results, should i go with this one or be looking at a higher model. There is a 40d second hand body only in the classifieds that looks good.
Your Thoughts

Cheers
Scott
