the suggestions in here are all over the place. I'm not great at photography but I do get lucky every now and then. The fact is, there's a lens for every job...18-200/55-250 are okay at best. For the money, yes they will do just fine but ask the guys that are in this thread and some of them invested a small fortune on gear. If you think you'll be keeping up with the hobby then invest in nice glass. They keep their value, so you can sell if you decide it's not for you.

Here's another option for you...it doesn't cover as much as the 18-200 but look into the 24-105 F4L. The image and build quality is far superior than the 18-200. If you want the reach at the telephoto end just stack in TC. They can be had for less than $700
