70-300 is not that good i heard. But since you are on budget, why not you buy the 60D kit 1 first and then think whether you really need the extra reach? afterall there's only one lens on a camera at any one time. have fun with the camera as a starter and think about buying more lens later. the lens won't fly away mah. For me I got 60D body and tamron 17-50 non vc ver at 2150 (plus some cleaning kit). juz for your reference.Cross posting from another thread because I thought this might be a better place to post my query.
I'm actually thinking of getting the EOS60D as a starter into DSLR.. budget constraints leh..
But was considering between EOS 60D KIT (EF S18-55) or (EF 18-135mm). Which would be a better choice? I assume 18-135mm isn't really a strictly telephoto zoom lens right?
As I like to capture shots sometimes from a distance, was also considering this telephoto zoom lens EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM. Is this wise?
Any expert to help on this?
Hmm, I was thinking then to probably get hold of the 60D Kit II (EF S18-135mm) or Kit III (EF S18-200mm). But seriously, how much different would the zoom be for both the lens indicated above?70-300 is not that good i heard.

Try them at the Canon showroom at Vivo City, then decide. How often do you need a 200mm zoom (or 135mm for that matter)?Hmm, I was thinking then to probably get hold of the 60D Kit II (EF S18-135mm) or Kit III (EF S18-200mm).

Cropped bodies as in both 1.6 and 1.3?gundamseed84 said:No need....one good thing about Canon's system is that the modern EF/EFS lenses have motors built into them. The main difference is EF-S is only to be used with crop bodies.
