I went with the 55-250 in the end, really pleased with it actually, went to a RSPB nature reserve at the weekend. :thumbs: D

This will do the trick then...

There you go then, i bought from Jessops at £219 on Sunday and i have just looked, up to £239. Glad i ordered mine at £219. D

:lol::clap::woot: Took the words right out of my mouth. When it comes to a manual not opened, do people really care if a manual has been opened, i would be more concerned with the hardware condition. A lot of electrical items do not even have a sealed manual, i would have thought that a...

Thanks guys, will take comments on board and do a bit of reading. D

Ok so what good ones that dont cost an arm and a leg. I appreciate that putting not very good glass in front on good class is a false economy but i dont want to break the bank. D

Will these be suitable for me, has been recommended that i get UV and polirizing filters, would be used with either 18-55mm, 50mm, or 55-250mm http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI&item=190285049899 Cheers D

I went to Jessops today to get my 55-250 IS Canon lens , they only had one in the shop which was on display, did not want that one so ordered on in store for delivery this week, i just want to make sure i got it at the price today as it is likely to go up tomorrow. Picking it up on Wednesday. D

There is the RC5 also which i believe works with it. D http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-RC-Camera-control-infrared/dp/B00004WCCQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1233667510&sr=8-1

I use the iphoto book thing for a christmas present, hard back, dust cover really nice quality. Got it delivered and was going through it all looking good then pink streak on pone page then green streak on one page. They were very sorry and sorted me a new one straight away, however it did not...

Going to get a new lens and highly likely to be ordered on the net. Am i correct in thinking i should be worried about grey imports??? If so why and what shops should i avoid for this? Looking at Camerabox, anyone used them, they are the cheapest at the moment. Or recommend another good...

thanks for all the other replies too. D

Thanks for this, good insight. I am lead to belive the 250mm will be enough, if i want something longer after then fine. D

Got a 450D, 18-55IS and a nifty fifty lens, but need something with some reach, some motorsport, wildlife, cars etc. So which one for £200. D
