did you get yours from that site? I think i've looked at stuff from there before but there were complaints about gettng hit with import duty as products come from overseas. Think 500d with 18-200 is winning so far even if beyond budget but she doesn't seem to mind, going to have a shot of our receptionists Nikon however first, dare we go over to the dark side?!graeme wrote:I got a 18-200 IS with my 500D as a kit. Best price I can find online is £799 here:

Jessops will be probably still be £999.
The 18-200 IS is good for days when you only want to take one lens with you. It has barrel distortion at the very wide end, and it's a bit dark at the zoom end, but it's a good all-rounder.
Thanks rag it and graeme for your help with this.
