Guys,

About to commit to purchasing the above combination.

After weighing up the 550d versus 50d i've decided the 50d suits my requirements (ie: no video required and prefer the feel of the 50d).

My question last decision is whether to get the 17-50 2.8 lens - Based on the fact i'll be looking at shooting indoors, portraits, kids and a bit of sport, landscapes etc.

I'd appreciate thoughts on the above lens and whether i should be looking at anything else in same price point.

Cheers
