Standard advice here is Tamron 17-50 non VC. You can also consider Sigma 17-70 or 18-50 f2.8. I had both and they were very good for the price. Actually I think that Sigma 18-50 is the best value at the moment. You can grab one for £160-170 on ebay if you're lucky. I sold mine and regretted...

It is true that Sony doesn't offer as wide range of lenses as Canon does but to say that their system is a fail is just wrong. Their line up is pretty good and covers almost all focal lengths and it is improving all the time. The only problem with their lenses is a price as stated above. If they...

When I was starting few years ago there wasn't much choice. Canon and Nikon both had only two entry level models and my decision was purely based on the good deal I got from a shop.Now given the vast choice of cameras available for £800 you might need to set another criteria i.e ergonomics (need...

Great set in overall but 6 stands out for me. You can feel tension and adrenalin by his posture and pumped vein on the neck.

From my research on the same subject Pentax k7 seems to be a good value unless you need high ISO

I've got Canon 18-200 and it's not really good at the wide end, neither was Sigma's equivalent which I had for a short time. Canon seems decent on the telephoto end though, better than Sigma. Then again Canon costs twice as much and for that price you might consider getting micro 4/3 camera...

If Jessops have Olympus e-pl1 in stock it might be worth a consideration;)

Tamron has one with the same range 28-300 which has image stabilzer as well and costs 3 times less than Canon. It won't have the same build quality but for the price/quality I think it is much better value.

Have you considered a new 15-85? It seems a good option as a walkabout lens

It does sound ok, but not really a bargain, it's just a fair price. Why don't you want to buy a new camera for her in this price range? You can get new Nikon d60 with kit lens and some entry level telephoto zoom (secondhand). I'm sure there won't be any difference in IQ and as you shoot Nikon...

I'm also interested in this lens and emailed them. Here is their response: "Thank you very much for your email. I'm afraid we do not have an ETA for this lens. Sorry! Thank you. Regards, Onestop Digital " From UK sellers cheapest I found was £500 from Parkcameras

and it seems that he can do even better... something like 9.45.. just amazing!

Lovely photos, especially the last one with London Eye, :thumbs: and how did you manage to take 3rd photo without any tourist in the frame? Last Sunday I spent one hour on the bridge trying to take the same shot but without much success - huge groups of tourists wouldn't stop walking on the...

yeap, I thought the same and the photo is the most viewed on Telegraph website http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6018173/Squirrel-is-surprise-star-of-holiday-photo.html It seems they're trying to save on advertising and doing it in house... :)
