best canon zoom lens for beginner image
Pixie Dust
I do a lot of landscape photography, and i'm looking for a good lens. I've got the Canon 1000D and i'm looking for a wide angle zoom lens with an image stabilizer. I'm still a beginner photographer, so nothing too professional and expensive. Thank you so much!
Answer
Due to what some call the crop factor the equivalent field of view of any lens you put on the 1000D is going to multiply by 1.6x. In effect then a wide focal length of 28mm would be equivalent to 45mm on a standard 35mm or full frame camera.
Because of this wide angle is something that is more difficult to accomodate for in APS-C sensor cameras (although you get the benefit of the telephoto end).
Lenses like the Sigma 10-20mm and Tamron 10-24mm can still be considered wide angle and would be fine for landscape work. Even the wide end of something like the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 'kit replacement' lens would work.
IS/OS isnt as important in my opinion. Landscapes tend to use narrow apertures for front-to-back sharpness in the focus so longer shutter speeds tend to be required. For this reason handholding would be a waste of time and a tripod would be needed. Long shutter speeds are also the preserve of the landscape photographer so again a tripod - rather than lens IS/OS - would be needed.

Which is the best manual camera for beginner?
Mr. curios
I have both cameras? but the problem is which is better? the canon AE-1 Or the Olympus OM-10? or explain a brief summary because my professor told me to stick with canon AE-1 camera I mean is it a big deal why? Can you please explain I just dont want them do be angry with me thats all? Oh which len are better especially the zoom lens as well.
Answer
The OM-10 is not manual unless you have the extra cost plug-in device that turns into a manual camera.
The AE-1 does have a manual setting and that is why your tutor says to stick with it. If you didn't have the AE-1 the he or she would probably recommend something even simpler like a Pentax K1000 (there are many similar K mount cameras from other makers) or even a screw mount Pentax or Praktica (or similar).
For A beginner with a good tutor I'd always recommend a Praktica screw mount because they are simple to operate, generally use easily obtainable batteries that are only needed to power the light meter and their standard lenses are usually high quality. Plus, if you break one it costs little to get a replacement. The bodies can sell for as little as £1 + postage.
