"To be honest unless you absolutely need the constant 2.8 aperture the Canon 18-55 STM is every bit as good optically and you also have the advantage of STM if you should ever shoot video. The Money you'd save by getting the Canon in a kit would buy you a Canon 55-250 STM right away and you'd then have a huge focal range covered starting out."

If you start out with an 18mm to 250 mm range you will soon find out the type of photography you enjoy the most and in time you can add the premium lenses to your arsenal that suites you.

Happy shooting.

Thank you guys for your comments. I guess I'm slightly worried about going down that route because an 18-55mm & 50-250mm new would be £340. I'm not too keen on buying lenses second hand, so with that in mind the only way I would be saving money would be if I bought the 750D which comes with the 18-55mm for £519.

After trying the 760D out, compared to using the 750D, I think I would miss its extra ergonomics and improved AF tracking in live view (correct me if I'm wrong, I read this in a review).

But I really do understand what you mean, and I'm starting to wonder if it is better to go for the £519 750D bundle. If only the 760D came with the kit lens!

Where are you seeing the 750 bundle ? The bundles I'm seeing are with the  bog standard 18-55 kit lens which is not the best. However the 18-55 STM lens is a much better lens and is available in a kit with the Canon 100D for £369+ £30 flashback from WEX. You can also get secondhand 55-250 MM STM for £ 129 from MPB photographic.Don't worry about getting used stuff from these guys as the stuff they sell is top notch and come with a 6 month guarantee.
