Re: Canon 650D Triple Lens Kit at Jessops-advice please ?

I have all 3 of those lenses and am more than happy.  They represent the best value for money in the Canon lens range, especially the 55-250mm.  I only added the 50mm recently and also the 10-22mm.  The only thing that I can think of is that if you were taking video you might prefer the STM versions.

One thing that has not been pointed out to you is that Canon comes with its own DPP (Digital Photo Professional) processing program.  This includes DLO (Digital Lens Optimisation) which corrects shortfalls in just about every one of the Canon lens range (not the 50mm but the other two are there).

So for someone starting out and for quite a while yet these will serve you will.  Of course you can buy better, at a cost and also likely at a weight.  Save the money and buy a decent flash and/or tripod.
