Ask me enything you like - I went through this 8 months ago.
Please note again: The FPS in RAW with the 450D is at more than 3, BUT after some shots the buffer will run full and the FPS will drop.
Please keep that in mind.
A breakdown of the areas of lenses:
1) Budget lenses (f.ex. Canon kit lens)
2) 3rd party quality lenses. (f.ex. Sigma 18-50 F2.8)
3) Canon L series
ad1) They are very cheap and you get alot for your money.
The quality can be hit-miss
They are NOT light sensitive...low F is 3.5 quickly moves to 5.6
They are NOT fast.
ad2) Prices between 1) and 3)
Quality very close to Canon L
Light sensitive with F2.8 through the entire zoom
Fast
ad3) Very expensive, but top of the line.
Great quality
Light sensitive with low F through the entire zoom
Fast
Remember that the sensor in the 450D body is so good that it can deal with even the L series, so a kit lens should only be used to start with.
