Dave, have a look comments HERE about the lens.
Didn't really tell me a lot. It was a thread with a question that did not really get answered. It was more of a dispute as to who makes it.
Check this out. Not a full review but some info.
Sony DT 18-250mm F3.5-6.3: Digital Photography Review
Gary
Thanks Gary. I did a bit of research last night and found a few reviews. They ranged from a good lens to excellent lens. I think this is exactly what I want. It is small enough to carry around, should give me enough zoom for what I want and it will save the hassle of having to carry two around and having to be changing them. And at the end of the day I am not out to win any photo awards, I just want a good camera with some decent glass.
Have you had any experience with this reviewer? He really rates this lens

Also the on line mob you said that you had used. Are there any issues with warranty should some thing go wrong? What about after warranty has expired and it needs fixing? Can it be done locally?
Hi Dave the most important thing is the quality of the lense. As long as the body has the features you need / not want brands dont matter. Except for service and backup.Quote:

The Sony body / lense combo looks pretty good and should last many years. Even if you out grow it and move up to something better in a few years time it will still be a good backup kit.
