I am goin to buy my 1st DSLR

-or-
i go for body only+sigma 18-200 OS
-or-
other lens?

is OS/IS very important for a first timer of DSLR?

Just wan to answer this last part: is OS/IS very important for a first timer DSLR

No

Why? I assume that this is your first SLR camera, so my apologies if I assume wrongly. I do not think its a good idea to get a IS/OS/VR lens on your first try coz it makes the user lazy to learn how to control his or her body. Better to learn how to use a non-IS lens now then later. Learn how to take a picture without shaking or at least keep it to a minimum.

And if anybody wan to ketuk me for this.. i dont deny it. I am very old school. tongue.gif And proud of it
