Canon 450D Deals

I have searched the forums and found a few 450D threads.

However, what I want to know is what 450d deal to go for?

Looked at:

450D + 18-55mm IS Lens ~£500
450D + 18-55mm IS Lens + Tamron 75-300mm Lens + 4GB card ~£640

Hoping for some suggestions on other deals available? Or better priced deals?

Thanks

Re: Canon 450D Deals

Personally, I would give the second option a miss, the Tamron mentioned is slow and has no image stabilisation. Best to get the first option, and then save up for a better stabilised telephoto lens such as the Canon 55-250 IS or better still the Canon 70-300 IS USM.
As for best deals, have you tried Camera Price Buster - UKs cheapest camera gear?
Here's a good deal ...

Buy Canon EOS 450D 12MP Digital SLR Camera with Twin Lens. at Argos.co.uk
The deal in Argos - are they both Canon IS lenses for £636?

Looking on the other website your sent, you can get the 55-250mm IS Canon lens for £188

Similarly the 18-200mm is twice the price - why?

What difference does the f4-5.6 make?
