Yea, when deciding what lens to get, I was originally looking at the Tamron 18-200... UNITL they came out with the 250. I was keeping within a budget, so I really didn't want to go with two lenses. It'* the wide focal length I was looking for. Maybe in the future, I'll get a better zoom lens, and maybe a wide-angle one, too. But, for now, this is way better than any camera I've ever had.

Once I learn all the controls, it'll get better...
