I was just wondering how good the latest kit lenses really are.
I'm looking at getting my first DLSR as a step up from a Panasonic fz-18 bridge camera.
I enjoy close up pics of plants and bugs, but also motorsport and wildlife. but i'm still playing and enjoy most forms at the moment.
As a step up i'm looking at a budget of £800 and identified the following -
Canon 450D, 500D and 40D
Nikon D5000 and D90
I could get the 450D and better lenses, but still nothing major. Or do I look at the others with twin kit lenses (all around £800, except D90) and work out what I really like.
As i'm stepping up I would hope i'll notice a difference in IQ as even the kit lenses are bigger/better than the 46mm one on the FZ-18 (although it is a leica)
Any opinions welcome. I'm of out this weekend to look.
