I wanted to "step up" but I couldn't justify forking out a huge amount of money - so of course it came with 2 kits lenses - 55-250 and 18-55.

My question is? Are kit lenses rubbish? I have read various articles about the "glass" not being as good as more expensive lenses and if you want good quality photos you need to pay more. Is this correct?
Your Canon Powershot Pro 1 18-200mm is a L (Canon's expensive) lens while your XSi kit lenses are not ('rubbish').
