Aiya .. those lens, not bad ga ..  I have those big range zoom lens attached on my cameras at home all the time, very handy to capture my 1 and a hlf yr old ar ma ..

I am a big prime fan too, however, unless you just want to go out to take some whatever snap shot, otherwise, zoom is still handy.

    Yeah ..agree ..  do some wedding/events photo shooting .. people will understand.

Anyway, back to topic, we just want to help the newbie to pick a lens on top of his/her 18-55 kit lens.

Again, that kit lens is decent, good sharpness, small, vivid, not bad bokeh.. it is a bit slow, but effective "IS" as well, good for casucal us, party etc.. I take my 500D/60D+ 18-55IS with pop up flash diffusor to work once a while .. handy and small, still better IQ then those EVIL.

Again, other then the 18-55 kit lens, the next budget (for newbie) tele lens should be 55-250IS, and also the 50 F1.8 to get an idea of prime and fast lens/bokeh.

As I always say, flash is important, even the small pocket size 270EX can do the work.

    Don't get confused ..

It is not what "vs" what ... I like prime more too, (result) but won't say VS ..  the idea is not when you have zoom, can't use prime, or the other way around.

Same as ..  Canon vs Nikon? no such thing, you can use Canon, you can use Nikon, you can use Sony, you can use all, or whatever ..

As Fai Chi said, can't say KFC vs Macdonald ga ma ..  may be today I want KFC, but I want MacDonald tomorrow lei!
