Just an update lovely ladies, I ended up with the 550D and got the twin lens kit, 18-55 & 55-200. I'm loving my camera sooooo much, I have taken literally hundreds of photos now (mainly on DS as you do!!!!). I'm now looking at the close up micro lens 55 mm I think and further down the line I want to get that 70-300 mm one and the fish eye lens....I am a camera obsessed woman now!
