Which to buy? Canon EF 75-300mm USM or Canon EFS 55-250mm IS?

But the DOF for a 18-55mm is too depth, you just can't create a nice bokeh indoor to make the object stand out, plus indoor usually have poor lightning.
I still personally feel that 50 f1.8 is still nice to play as the dof is so thin and can make some nice bokeh.
that is my opinion only, due to the shallow DOF, a beginner shooter do not have the know how skill to create that using a standard lens.
And it is usually the bokeh effect that make the photo look so difference with the p&s cam.
50mm indoors is just too tight for my personal preference...So i'll have to either settle with 18-55 or an lens upgrade or just use the flash.
furthermore, it is one of the cheapest and sharper lens.

Any lens is good for portrait taking (as in all lens can take portraits). It depends on how you utilize the lens in the given environment. (you can even take portraits with 55-250, depends on how you frame it)
One can use the kit lens 18-55 and still shoot marvelous portraits with it.
oh, btw, 18-55 + 55-250 is quite a solid combo itself enough to cover "general" photography from wide to portraits to tele.
*don't be too fast to discard the 18-55 if you own one, despite what many may say(e.g. abt the IQ, non USM), I still think it's a great lens*
Correct! So far so good... I find their combination is quite excellent for a beginner like me. All I need to do is practice, practice practice.

I never liked to cultivate the BBB virus...but well, diff pple diff opinions.

BBB = Buy Buy Buy
It's a contagious virus. People who get catch this virus is generally separated into a few groups.
- Group of people who blame their hardware (lens) for the imperfection of the image.
- A group that is simply addicted to the better image qualities the "L" gives, It's said that once you start using "L", you will be addicted to get all "L" lens.
- Just buy for the sake of buying. Cash rich if you ask me...
