18-200mm, all focal length will be covered. Forget about all other lens if you don't know which focal length you will need.

For videos, at least a Class 6 card is recommended. I think you should check with whichever shop that gave you the free gift.

Just to add. I was using Ultras & Extremes, Class 10, about 30 MB/s on my 550D (before my 70D) for quite sometime. Generally quite good for videos but occasionally didn't record properly. Lately I bought a 80 MB/s and did many burst shots and a few videos during a ceremony overseas. Very fast transfers, so nice to use, and all pictures & videos came out well. I now use 80 MB/s on the 70D as well, not too many shots or videos taken yet, can't comment much for now.
If possible, use a a Class 10 on the 70D, with faster rate if budget allows. 550D manual recommends at least Class 6, but I haven't used it before. Class 4 is inadequate from my experience on 550D.
Happy snapping

70D owners and using Photoshop CS6, don't forget that CS6, at this point, doesn't support 70D Raw files.
Adobe has a beta Camera Raw 8.2 at the moment, you can find it here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw8-2/
Just did a simple test @ ISO 3200.

Dunno about Silicon Power. I bought 2x Sandisk Extreme Class 10 16GB (80mb/s) exclusively for the 70D use.

thanks for the input. any reason why you chose that card?
Both from a performance and price point. Was using Sandisk Ultra Class 6 before this and wanted a faster card for 70D, considering the file size, fps and video. Been using Sandisk for a while and find it reliable.

Not sure yet. I like Gardens by the Bay. Also an annual pass holder, thus can go to the conservatories & skywalk as often as I like
