I'm going to pickup a Canon XTi. I'm deciding on if I should get the 18-55 stock kit, or if I should get the body only, and get a Tamron kit (Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 and 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 LD). Budget wise it is about the same. The 18-55 kit will cost about 100 $ more, and the Tamron option will cost about 150 more. If the quality of the lenses are similar then I get an extra lens for 50 bucks. Good for a starter kit, and enough to hold me over for a while, till I know what I want/need.
On www.slrgear.com they give the Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 a 5/10 for picture quality (even though I couldn't find a review for it). I assume that this is similar to the 18-55 Canon kit.
the Tamron 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 LD ranked 8/10
Looks like a good buy, just want to see what others think
