Ok great, thanks Raven! I guess that is what I was looking for, a bit of a push The 550D is very much stretching the budget but from looking around this morning there are some pretty good deals. Will go and check them out tomorrow.

Also, there are a few twin lens kit deals around. A few people have told me that they really don't use the 2nd lens. So in your opinion Sam, do you think I should just stick with a 18-55 IS lens that generally comes with the camera and then getting a 50mm?
