I spoke with my brother, who's a (semi) professional photographer, and he told me not to get the Canon telephoto lens above because it is crap. I'm looking at getting the body and the wide angle lens (cheapest I've found is $650) and This lens, which I've found for $250. Its more than I wanted to spend but I'm confident that it will yield great pictures.

Does anyone know where I can find either the camera or the lens cheaper? Do you agree that it is worth it to spend the extra $300 and go for the Canon over the Nikon? Again, thanks for the help.
