Same camera…different lens options. I guess, should I go with the one with 2 lenses or one?
If I’m forced to pick between the two, I’d pick the one lens deal and here’s why.
On the 2 lens kit, you’ve got the 18-55mm. The 18mm end is a fairly wide shot. But 55mm on the long end is a bit short. 55mm would be about 2x or 2.5x on a compact camera.
The next lens 55-200mm The 55mm is too long for any kind of a wide shot. 200mm is nice and will reach out far. You’ll be changing lenses a lot to get the shots you want. That’s a huge pain for a casual shooter.
The one lens deal covers the wide shot on short end 18mm, and the reach is decent on the long end.
The better thing to do if you have your heart set on this camera, get the body only for the best price you can. Next, start looking for a 18-200mm (give or take) zoom that will cover that entire range in one lens.
Now, there are pros and cons to doing such a thing, but for a casual shooter, it would be fine, plus no having to carry around 2 lenses and dealing with lens changes. You could miss a shot doing all that.
Look into Nikon, Sigma and Tamron to see what they carry and for how much that might be a better way to go.
