Re: Budget Canon Superzoom Comparison - Any Thoughts?

Are you looking at super zooms because you want the convenience of not changing lenses or because you think its the only way to cover everything with your budget?

If you are looking for the best quality then you would be better with a couple of lenses. First the tele end is easily sorted - 55-250 STM is £110 new (I've bough from this seller and absolutely no problems) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canon-EF-S-55-250mm-f-4-5-6-IS-STM-Lens-White-Box-New-/112189699417?epid=219521665&hash=item1a1f06f559:g:4roAAOSwx2dYGFBX

Then you want a standard lens for up to £130. You could risk a 2nd hand 17-85 IS, I've had one I got brand new which turned out to be a dud and later a 2nd hand one I got for my bother which was impressive. Or something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canon-EF-S-18-55mm-f-3-5-5-6-STM-IS-Lens-White-Box-/111939759623?epid=219963682&hash=item1a10212e07:g:RJUAAOSwpIdW61r3
