Also, I know a basic camera package usually starts you out with a 18-55mm lens, and this kit comes with a 28-70mm lens and a 70-300mm lens.
I want to have a good basic lens, and also have one that has a good zoom. (I do a lot of action shots at rodeos. Which means I am often times far form the action.)
Any suggestions of the best lenses, and whether or not Sigma lenses are as good at Canon.
