Hi all! I'm new on the forum. I'm going to buy my first D-SLR, a Canon EOS 1000D, 1100D or 500D. It depends on my budget, which will be very low. I'm confused about the lenses. The 500D has only the 18-55mm kit lens without IS, and the 1100D has the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II. I would like to buy a second lens, a Canon 50mm f/1.4 prime lens. I also have found the Sigma 18-125mm f/3.8-5.6 DC HSM OS. The Sigma lens is better than the kit lens? (disregarding the focal length) Does the sigma 18-125mm have a better picture quality than the kit lens? Its better to buy two lenses (18-55mm + 70-300mm) than a single (18-125mm)?
There are some configuration:
1. Kit lens + Canon 50mm f1.4 + a tele (Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO maybe)
2. Sigma 18-125mm lens + Canon 50mm f1.4
3. The 500D body + 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II + Canon 50mm f1.4 + a tele (Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO maybe)
4. A body + Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM + Canon 50mm f1.4
I like the Sigma lenses because they come with lens hood. I think it's important to have lenses with the same diameter for the filters, because it's more cheaper to buy only one set of filters (I was looking for the Hoya Pro1 Digital filters).
I know that its impossible, but I want a good, but a low-budget photo equipment. Please help to choose the best.
