The question is asked so often that it had to be worth posting about and sharing my own experience. Hopefully, someone will ask Google and they'll land here for my $0.02. Of course, I haven't yet tried the Canon EF 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens, but then it weighs and costs about as much as 3 or 4 lenses which cover same focal lengths... ;) Thanks, Miles.

It's alright bringing out camera bodies to suit every budget but there needs to be a 'no nonsense' way of buying a suitable lens for those who want to take above average shots without getting into technicalities. You mention weight, quite rightly because beginners need to be aware of the implications of carrying two or three lenses when one would suffice. It's this type of post and information that can save people a lot of money. Will,
