First of all, please only reply if you have an understanding and solid recommendation – many times I post questions and get useless answers! (i.e. up to you, maybe, who knows!)
Background: I am a ‘serious amateur’! Most of my pictures are scenery, landscapes, buildings, construction sites, sunsets, and events.
1) Would you recommend buying Body only or camera with 18-55mm lens?
2) I would like to have Zoom capabilities and Wide Angle – can this effectively be purchased in one lens? i.e. 18-200mm
3) Would you recommend Tamron or other lenses over Canon? I see they have a 18-200mm that is a wide – zoom. Or would it be better to purchase a Canon Wide AND Canon Telephoto?
Just trying to find the best solution to minimize costs and get the most bang for my buck with quality equipment. I would rather have 2 lenses than 3 at this point.
Any recommendation, suggestions, or resources to check out would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you!
Clarification – Serious amateur, less than professional, but more than amateur!
When I mentioned buying the body only, I didn’t think I could use this as is … but as a suggestion to get alternate lenses other than the one in the kit!
I read somewhere that it is better to buy what you will need instead of getting what it comes with.
Thanks!
