Or this for £23.99 :) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0012XFIWO/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Or, if you would rather stay out of jail, you could buy this: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/range.html?t=nb&c=home&r=E16 Good specs and very good company, bought many laptops from them. Or any of these if you need Windows as well (the Novatech above is without an O/S BUT it is a better...

I know, I just wanted a budget lens for my girlfriend's 350D with a little more zoom than the 18-55.

Lenses update: 1. Canon 18-55 IS 2. Sigma 70-300 DG APO 3. Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 manual focus 4. Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 5. Canon EF 38-76mm

I just ordered another lens as a present to be used by the family. I got a good deal for a wide angle Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 for shooting landscapes. So now I got the following: 1. 18-55 IS for generic everyday use 2. Tamron 75-300 DG APO for wildlife and macros 3. Pentacon 1.8/50mm for portraits...

Thanks for the kind comments. I still have a LOT to learn though. The more I read about photography the more I see how little I know. This are the EXIF values recorded: Shutter: 1/60sec Aperture >f/1024 ISO 400

I got a very old and very cheap Pentacon 1.8/50mm manual focus lens to try just for fun. Below is an 100% crop or a portrait I took today.

Bought this: http://www.sigma-imaging-uk.com/lenses/telezoom/70-300mmAPO.htm SRP is £229.99 and I only paid £90 on Ebay for a used one (12 months old) :)

I got a UK model after all (3 months old, originally purchased from Argos) as stated above. I am now looking for a telephoto lens. Will this do? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_rdc=1&item=330333757236&viewitem=&salenotsupported or can you suggest something else for £130 max?

I have been a member there for a while (with 1 post :) )

I also got this bag for £8.99. This sells £39.99 at Dixon's, I hope it is not an imitation!: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Camcorder-Cases/Lowepro/Lowepro-Altus-160-Camcorder-Case---Black?affid=65970

We just got a 3 month old one (originally purchased from Argos, including the receipt) for £280. This includes the "good" IS lens :)

I noticed that the one on Ebay is refurbished! Please let me know if you find any new ones with the IS lens for up to £350!

I think you are right. I hadn't seen the Argos price before or I would have not considered Ebay as I already have: 1. 16GB + 8GB cards 2. Card reader 3. Tripod and really only need 1. Camera bag 2. Extra battery Which I can buy by themselves easily. EDIT: Just checked and the Argos camera is...
