a noob question here :

so i got a A330 with kit lens 18-55mm, n i decided that wanna get some extra zooms... so which is the better idea ?

1. keep the 18-55 and get a 55-200mm

2. get rid of the kit lens n get a 18-200mm


well obvious enough for me that the 2nd option is good that i no need to interchange lens... is there any other things that i gonna lost or missed out ?

thanks in advance.

ah-ha! but then the 200mm sounds like good enough for me, could save some bucks


hm lets juz set aside the factor of budget 1st, wanna know more on any pros n cons for that 2 options against each other.

well i do travel and snap pic a lot on the road so there's many times i could use some extra zoom, which my 18-55 juz clearly doesnt cut it. so yeah i guess thats pretty much a 'need' for me.

n of coz the idea of juz bring along 1 lens and avoid the need of changing lens under some goddamn hot sun is really appealing to me.
