[Craterloads]

Kind of pointless asking now since i have all ready bought but worried i might have paid too much.

Canon 550D Camera
Canon EF-S 18-200mm Lense
Canon Carry Bag

Paid best part of £600 delivered 2nd hand. This one here: -

Bit of an impulse buy as needed a new camera, and went for this one as it appears the lense with it alone is £400ish.

Also some advice would be awesome as i have no clue, upgraded from a Samsung i8 digital camera.

Hoping to use mainly for when on holiday later this year, and for the time being taking some nice pictures of my up coming PC build. Will this 18-200mm lens be ok to do some nice shots of PC indoors plus can i do some up close pictures of well like of the motherboard etc?

Edit: any recommendations of a decent priced tripod, my hand shake like hell!

Camera arrived today, man its a beast!!

Shame the idiot seller sent me the wrong charger with a nearly flat battery!! Still enough to get a few shots out. The above website doesnt work with the 550d shutter count. looks like some software called green lantern is the only optin.

Aside from that the picture numbers on the 8GB SanDisk ultra is only at _0856, dont know if that would count as the shutter count?
