Hi all

im sure you get asked this sort of thing all the time but i am hoping one or 2 of you will help me out. I am very much the amateur who wants to buy a new toy to be used just a few times a year - hence the 450d not 40d. I would like to buy (ideally 1 but i think its going to have to be 2) lenses but havent got a clue which. here are some pointers as to what i will be doing/would like the camera to do -

1) high powered zoom (ideally 300mm) as will be taking camera on wildlife safari
2) some wide-angled lens close up work
3) some high-speed motor-racing stuff
4) i think i need optical stabilisation in the lenses (having tried them with and without)
5) most shots will be taken in good light

my budget is around £300-400 for the zoom lens and a bit less for the other - is that reasonable?

could also do with some advice on which memory cards to get too.

any advice appreciated.

thanks
Jon
