Re: 500D + Tamron 18-200

You're on your own on the camera body, and I do...have a couple of Tamron lenses I do like....but the 18-200 is NOT one of them.  The Tamron 18-200 is by far the worst lens I have out of 7 (Canon mount) lenses.                                                                                          I also tried the 18-270 Tamron lens and returned that one.  No way to get sharp, crisp pictures, outside of shooting "everything" at F-11, even then it's very questionable.  Maybe I need to scratch up my glasses...!

That's my experience.

P.s. - Look into the SL1.  If you look around, that is a VERY good camera for a very reasonable cost.
