I'm occasional trekker and running on a very low budget(max 60K total).
I had almost decided to buy Canon EOS 550D(preferred over 600D, since the only selling point of 600D is the retractable LCD screen with around 14K difference in price) and a lens that have enough zoom that could help me shoot relative more objects than the Kit 18-55 lens and at the same time do not like to carry 2 lens at this time as I hope I will be able to buy another 70-300 or 100-400 in 6-10 months time. The options that I see on my budget is to buy either 18-135 IS or 18-200 IS lens.
I would be happy to sacrifice zoom for sharpness so my first bet was 18-135 but on my little investigation over the net, I found that there is not much difference between them when it comes to sharpness. I would love to hear from the users of these lens on how they felt about it.
Thanks
