Could possibly consider this: http://www.makro.co.za/p/47216/nikon-d3100-twin-lens-bundle-200mm/
But the missus might make me put out tonight..Nice deal IMO
For that price why not go for the 550D bundle?

Nice comparison. I suppose it boils down to feel and personal preference.

What the hell is this DC your talking about? 
The triple bundle is a Canon 18-55 IS, Canon 55-250 IS and a Canon 50 f2.5 prime (obviously without IS). I didn't know Canon made a 50 f2.5, may be a typo that should read f1.8.
Website now says out of stock - could be for online only though.

The two zoom lenses are IS.

Yeah it's a F1.8, according to the pic.
Well I'll phone Dion tomorrow and find out if it's out of stock or just an online deal.
Otherwise perhaps I should consider another 550d bundle, would be happy with just a 15-55 lens for starters since the 550D clearly is a far better animal than the 1100D and the Nikon D3100.

Anyone bought from Orms before?

Many times. They have a very good reputation. Deservedly so.
Okay guys. Dion special isn't on anymore, lady on the phone seemed unhelpful too. So...
So here's the options I am seriously considering now:
R6,923 Canon EOS 600D 18-55 IS Lens, 16GB SD, bag
R 6,395 Canon EOS 550D DSLR with EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens, 8GB SD, bag
Leaning towards the 600D from Orns.

600D ... flip screen and wireless flash trigger is a rather nice feature.
Actually I've owned a 450D (and now a rather pos A230) but my friend has a 550D and to be honest the biggest improvement I've seen over the past 2-3 years is the power of the onboard flash and the processing power of the onboard flash meter. Set it on auto (the dreaded groen blokkie) and be astounded by the awesome pictures it takes in the dark. For portraiture an external flash is obviously still king though.

Congrats! Have fun.
The articulating screen is very cool. I use it so often on my 60D.
