I use both the Canon 55-250mm and Tamron 150-600mm lens. They both are excellent for the price.

It just depends on what you want and are willing to spend. You might start with the Canon 55-250mm first. It's so inexpensive. Then if you want more range, consider one of the other telephoto lenses. Just a little bit of caution: The larger telephoto lenses can be very heavy and difficult to use. But with the good techniques, it can be easy.

Here's a few vacation snaps from both lenses that I took this past summer.

Tamron 150-600mm lens:
