What is the difference between CANON DSLR 750D EFS18-135S and CANON DSLR 750D EFS18-55S. I can't find a difference but the price is 200dollars higher for 135S. Also, what do you think about this camera overall?
 
Solution
The cameras are the same, the lenses are different. If there is a $200 difference it could be in the construction of the lens. One may have a plastic mount vs. a metal mount. The cheap Canon lenses can have a plastic mount.

Canon EFS18-135S: 18-135mm lens (IS) filter size 67mm, max. diameter x length 3.0 x 4.0 in.
Canon EFS18-55S: 18-5mm lens (IS II) filter size 58mm, max. diameter x length 2.7 x 3.33 in.

The difference between the two is the focal length, diagonal view, number of lens elements, etc.

Solution
Depends on whether or not you really need the extra zoom and any other differences there are in the kits. One option is to get the less expensive one and the money saved could go toward another lens such as a prime lens or another zoom lens. It comes down to what you will be photographing.
