Getting ready to purchase a DSLR and a lense or two and looking for advise. I have a Vixia HG21 now that I pack in my pocket to video with when hunting. I am assuming the DSLR will out perform the Vixia when I can pack it and with the right lense set up, do you pro's agree?
Next question is what lense to start with? The package comes with the 18-55 and I am wondering what my first telephoto lense should be? With glass I know you get what you pay for. The bundle would allow for 150 discount of an additional lense. The two in the store are the Canon - 55-250mm f/4-5.6 and 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Zoom Lens. The first regularly $300 would be $150 and the second would be $50. My question are either of these worth a damn or should I just do it right the first time and put this money towards better glass?
I beleive there are doublers as well, do these work well?
I am a virgin for sure and plan on doing research and get to know the camera, but I want to put my money in a good place first go round, any help would be appreciated. I plan to take pics with as well as video in given situations. Thanks
