But, there is a simple rule of thumb that you or anyone else should follow if at all possible when going into SLR photography.

This is, but the best quality lenses you possibly can. You will always be better off with a cheap camera body and good glass.

I'm sure Canon are just the same as Nikon and will be quite expensive for lenses, but that really is down to the quality of:

a: the glass used
b: The motors (auto focus etc) used
c: build quality

Plus many more things besides.

However, there are a few good "other" names out there. Sigma, Tokina and Tamron are the better known ones.

I have to shoot out now unfortunately, I'll come back and continue later
Thanks Steve, doing my nut in looking at camera lenses on the www, got to get a book I think as all im used to is point and shoot but after seeing yours, stevePPPs and Nicks pics thought it was about time to upgrade and when this camera I have now came along, too good to turn down, just need to find the correct lense, for close up and moving target shots etc, thanks for the input and will wait for the rest of what advice you have to offer, already have had some great info from people and many thanks
