It really is a poor lens, hence why I'm keen to make sure I'm not stuck with anything similar. But it doesn't look like canon make any lenses that bad any more.

I think you mis-read me, it's the non-IS version. Again, it's not very good. I have a feeling I'll be happier with the IS kit lens, but ideally I want to get something a bit faster.





Also, is the 60d really £280 better than the 550d? Or even £200 better than the 600d? If the price differential was any less I'd be off out to buy the 60d now, but as it is I'm more tempted to go for the 600d.
