The 18-135 is a much better all purpose lens than the 18-55. If you still want the cheaper kit lens, you would do better to go through adorama , get the same price ($648), but receive the bundle with...

Not at all. I would say it's very good indeed. I haven't used it that much yet, but judging from early pictures (as well as online reviews) I would say it is better than the 18-55 in every way.
I...

Great deal if you are looking at getting those lenses anyways. Sony definitely upped the ante on their line of DSLRs with the SLT series cameras, the A57 is feature packed and I've been using it for...

Great find on the $748 deal - Slicker than Dell if you need the card, bag and $40 in camera accessories. Not to mention it is in stock and ready to ship - with Dell you have to wait a couple of...

The OP bundle is a good deal. However, I didn't need most of the pieces in the bundle, so opted for the following:
Dell has the A57 + 18-135 lens for 748. Buy a $400 Dell gift card, and get a $75...

Dell deal would be better, but I have to pay about $50 tax for Dell, none with Adorama. Also, I would like the 32 GB SD card and bag, and there's a $748 kit at Adorama for A57 + 18-135 and those...

IMHO, 18-135 is a good capable lens to start with. People on dpreview mentioned how SAL18135 incorporated the latest SAM II which improves the speed of the auto focus from the previous...

I was torn between this model and the A65, and honestly I was thinking the same thing.
Couldn't really justify paying the additional $150 for 24MP vs 16MP, and the GPS feature on the A65. A57 even...

Nice bundle!
Using raw samples from DPR I really couldn't see much if any advantage to the 24MP, so I recently got an A57. Very happy so far. The 18-135 is a very good lens for the range it has.

Does that mean that its not that good? ie compared to the 18-55 and 55-300 (excluding the extra range the 300mm gives you)
