Anyone can explain the main difference between getting a 18-200mm
and getting a 18-55mm and a 55-250mm? Is there an advantage to having two lenses instead of one?

You can ask Canon Service Center about Camera & Lens Calibration.  They usually take both your lens and body in.  I hear it is not really a cheap service and people usually do this for zoom lenses as its harder to fully calibrate those.

Anyway, anyone know where can calibrate third party lenses?

Newbie reporting in!!

Canon EOS 700D with EF-S 18-55mm IS II and EF-S 55-250mm IS II

welcome welcome, used to be my old setup!haha

Bought this as new set 2 weeks ago... What are you using now?

i was using the 60D then, now using 6D paired with tamron 28-75 
and yes, us foodies are crazy, i need a blow-torch instead

This is probably one of my fav shots I took recently when I was in NZ

woah!! That sun!! just like the one we draw when we're children... with the spikes!!

Had that problem with the Tamron 17-50mm VC and it sucked.  All I could do is pull out the camera battery and put it back in to reset the camera and also eject and reconnect the lens.  Like a total reset of the camera and then it works again.  Lucky I had zero crash errors while it is recording.  I do notice it crashes when VC activates during liveview.  I do feel something inside the lens there is a problem.  It did eventually stop working and it cost rm500 for sent in repair .  After fixing the problem it was perfect for few months and then once a while I do see the error again.  Eventually sold it off.  I understand that VC is really awesome for handheld video with superior unmatched stabilization.  But when you're more serious about video better invest in a good monopod then it won't matter what lens you use.

If still under warranty maybe send it in for a check and repair. 

Now upgraded to the Tamron 24-70 VC and ZERO problems!  Which is good because this one is way more expensive!

Im still a newbie... still trying to get a hold on DSLR's functions!

Owhh... Foodographer~ But im more to Landscape work..

Guys, is it worth dumping some cash on a 24mm STM? My setup is a 60D, Sigma 17-50, Canon 10-22, nifty fifty, and I travel a lot, which is why I am considering the 24mm since it makes the camera so much lighter & compact. Most of the time I have the 10-22 on though because of its ultra wide angle.
