EF-S 18-135
I already had a 17-85 IS and a 28-135 IS so wasn't sure whether or not worth buying this lens but the extra length seemed a good idea although I never got on with the 18-200 IS as a piece of kit. I'd thought about a 15-85 to go with my 70-200 L-series but not a cheap option and so far I've rarely missed the wider settings; if I need wider I use the 10-22 which is made to do the job of course. It's mainly used with a 7D but occasionally on a 40D and whatever the pixel or file size I've noticed minimal issues with barrel distortion or corner abberation even at f3.5 and either zoom extreme. If compared to my 100mm f2.8 and blown up to silly size you can just catch a little difference in out and out sharpness but much less than I anticipated. Close focusing is mediocre but you don't buy a lens like this for macro work and you can't get a decent zoom with IS and Macro for this money so all said this is a very decent walkabout lens for a sensible outlay with a very good 4-stop IS system and without the problems of zoom creep and bulk like the 18-200. I am happy to recommend this lens for the money

7D, more than a grown up 40D!
Having used a 40D for the last 3 years and previously taken many shots with a 350 and 400 I just couldn't see the merits in buying the 50D last year. Although the MP count was significantly higher, in practice the results with lots of different glass and 3 flashes were nothing like the figures should have given in my view so I approached trying the 7D with a little trepidation! Completely unfounded, this is a superb camera, forget the 19MP, there's no need to use the camera in higher than 12 but the processing is just in a different class to any previous crop factor body from Canon and Nikon in my view. I am not totally biased and did buy a Nikon 80D after the earlier Canons and was genui8nly considering a D300 this time, despite having the rest of the kit from Canon but having tried that and then the 7D it was a total no-brainer even if I had to buy all the glass again! Shutter speed is awesome, manual control offers everything you would really need and the viewers/ screens etc are sharp and well proportioned. As a Canon user, the controls are so natural and the improvements to some of the switches such as the on/off complete an already very good package. This is not a grown-up 50D, it's a crop factored 5D mk11 in my view and a whole lot less money! Unless you're a full time pro there is little justification in buying the 5D and the range of lenses with the EF-S range make it a cheaper option to run once you've got it! For those of you considering a 60D I can understand why some will want it, I had a look and it did feel quite nice and the numbers look pretty good but if you're going to use it hard then put up with the extra weight and size, this is a tough piece of equipment and so much more solid to feel in action. A camera of this quality and spec for remotely near this money was a pipe dream even 18 months ago but this is the real deal, just stop trying and get buying!
