I'd obviously try it out, etc, but does anyone have any suggestions for a wide to decent telephoto lens? Preferably under $200. I noticed the Tamron 18-200, which is right around 200, but it doesn't have image stabilization and pretty slow AF.
I used to have an XTi, but the kit lens that came with the XTi was horrible. As long as you buy the body only though it is a great deal. The telephoto I bought was the 70-300mm IS for $550, granted the non-IS version is cheaply made and extremely light, I wouldn't recommend the non-IS 70-300mm. I haven't read about that Tamron lens so I can't help you there.
