Pro Telephoto Lens
Camera 450D - Fantastic Camera
I ordered through Amazon as they had the best price at the time, took a little longer than expected to arrive, over 2 weeks.
I had upgraded from a Sony Cybershot 7.2MP. Well you cant even compare the two. From only ever owning a point and shoot camera I now do not believe I could ever use anything but a dslr again.
The camera came with the 18-55mm canon lens, and the normal included accessories. This did not include a pouch, so I ordered the canon semi hard case EH19 L from 7dayshop for £27.99. Expensive but quality product. The only problem you might find is that the case fits the camera only with the 18-55mm lens, and so when I am using the 55-250mm lens I need to change the lens before I pack it away. Minor issue for me.
Ordered the Kingston Technology 4GB Secure Digital High Capacity Class4 Card - gets over 600 photos on a good quality setting (not RAW).
Having read all the other feedback I also ordered the 55-250mm canon lens through Amazon. Not being a pro photographer I can only give a layman's view - the 18-55 is great for normal shots, but useless for zooming. The 55-250mm is a telephoto lens, and the photos are magnificent. I tested it on numerous occasions eg day at Lords watching cricket, and the 55-250mm adds a whole new dimension to what you can take pictures of. Taking pics one after the other, and switching between the two lens', highlights how you cant really do with one or the other, you need both. I read some comments about buying the camera body only, and then not getting the 18-55mm and ordering other types, but my math told me that the incremental cost to get the offered package meant I was only really paying in about £45 more to get the lens than just the body. You cant get any lens for that price. If you want a specific lens for your individual circumstance and you have more money to spend - go for it. If you aren't really sure and were only going to do it because others recommended it, think again.
The extra lens doesn't come with a pouch either - I ordered a lower pro 1N through 7dayshop for £10. Fits perfectly, I had read that I should get the 1W - no good - its too big. I know lots of people order special backpacks for their cameras - this didn't suit me - I want to be able to pack my camera away, not carry a whole bag just for the camera.
Back to the camera - I am learning all types of new things. There are different pre-set modes that cover most scenarios, but as you read through the extensive manual you slowly learn more advanced techniques and begin to use the manual mode where you make your own decisions for the different settings. I have a long way to go, but anyone can see what a huge difference the camera has made to the quality of photos I am now taking. I honestly am not able to provide any info on flaws or problems because I haven't come across any.
This camera is great quality, there are good accessories available, the photo's are stunning, and with the determination to learn how to use all the features you will increase your photography knowledge by a huge amount. Highly recommended.

More photography questions...?
I got the answer I needed for a way to shoot a picture, however it's in really technical terms and I need to know what those terms meant and how to use them on my camera, which is a FujiFilm FinePix Z33 WP.
The instruction manual that came with it sucks so I need step-by-step instructions.
Remember, I'm not a pro at this.
Please decode this in dummy form 
"To blur the background you need to use as large an aperture as your camera will allow you to set, which means a SMALL fstop number, such as f2.8, but I don't think you have manual aperture control on your camera. You can also try having your subject as far away from the background as possible and also use the long, (telephoto) portion of your lens when focusing on the subject."
If I can't operate this function, is there any other tricks to get the same effect?
OK a non-technical explanation.
You have a cheap point and shoot and you cannot do this in camera with your camera.
The only way therefore is to do this in an image manipulation program.
