Please forgive me if I'm asking a question that has already been discussed. My husband and I are purchasing this camera for a gift for our daughter but we can't decide which lens to get. I am aware that it all depends on what she is taking pictures of, she likes almost everything- Sunsets, the moon are her favorite but she is also into Landscapes, animals, birds, plants, flowers, to name a few. She's not into portraits or weddings. She has decided on the Canon 80D. However, we don't know which lens kit to go with.
I have read where many people do not like "kit" lenses but to start out will these be good?
Which lens will give her better image quality, sharpness . She doesn't mind changing lenses for we have a Nikon D50 with several lenses she has used. We also know she will need more than one or two lenses over time. Higher power zoom, macro etc. but for now we are hoping one of these kits will be great for her.
The lenses from the two different kits are the 18-135m( EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, which offers a 28.8mm equivalent focal length. Uses NANO USM autofocus system, which combines ring-type USM and STM focusing mechanisms) vs the second kit- APS-C-format DSLR with the standard zoom EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens and the telephoto zoom EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens. (a 28.8-88mm equivalent focal length range.). OR we can get the body if you think there is a lens out there that will be better than one from either of these two kits.
If you don't want another discussion on this can you please provide me links where this has been discussed or reviewed by either yourself or others that you trust- I would really appreciate it.
Also, we've never used filters, just a hood, I can research out the filter types but would like to know which brand you like.
