Eric, people are always asking me which camera to buy, but they never give a second thought about the lens, then wonder why (or usually don't even notice) their shots look so awful. Get a good lens. NEVER buy something like an 18-250. I use a Fuji S1. Do you have any idea how old that camera is? Still, my shots blow away most competitors for all around image quality because of the lenses. Now, I don't expect you to go as far as me with lenses, since I have nothing with more than a 2.5:1 zoom, but the point is, it makes no difference how good the sensor on your camera is if you put some piece of junk in front of it. And the kit lenses, always a piece of junk.

The unfortunate fact is, good lenses are expensive, but if you skimp, you are just wasthing the money you spent on the camera.
