I'm going to get my first DSLR as 550D in starting 2011. I don't have any lens with me. So i prefer to go with a kit lens. Here they offer 550D with EF-S18-55mm as well as EF-S18-135mm IS. I'm having confusion that which one to choose. In future i should buy a 70-300 lens from canon/sigma/tamron for my telephoto(I hope those are the low price telephoto glass i can afford) Those telephoto comes with out IS. So i like to buy 18-135 because of the long zoom with IS. If i buy 18-55 i loose some mm in the middle.. If 18-135 having good IQ then i don't care about the price. Coz i get IS up to 135mm. (216mm in 35mm). I can't afford so expensive lenses like L series. I like to choose one of this kit lens because of better compatibility in my starting point. Rather than a third party. Because if any problem i can consult with the dealer and so on



Some one please advice me. I'm mostly consideration is about the IQ.
