<!-- End of automatically inserted text -->

I'm thinking of buying a camera tomorrow .. I was advised to get this:

Canon 550 D ..
18 MP APS-C CMOS sensor ..
DIGIC 4 .. 
ISO 100-6400, H:12800 


It's my first camera and I want it to take pictures all over europe as I moved to Italy recently, I'm not a professional photographer. I need a good lens that represents some sort of compromise.

Which lens shall I get? Shall it be a kit lens or something else (18-55 or 18-135 or 15-85 ..etc??)


A quick reply will be much appreciated :)
Thanks
