So shall we conclude that the OP may buy the gear without the 70-300 initially, say atleast for a month and during the period just play around with the camera learning to use it well rather than getting lost in the charms of a 300mm lens ?

especially since

I believe it'd be a much beneficial thing for OP in the long run. Just my opinion. If he feels too constrained, then he may buy the 70-300 anytime he thinks he is ready as he has the cash in ready supply :)

hmm having the option to buy lens is a good option...but still my mind says that 18-55 is too restrictive....I myself bought the zoom in 2nd month itself.

budget for tripod ....The thing with tripod is...its better to save and get a good one 1st time or buy 2-3 triipods :)

A good tripod start from 6k onwards and a simple one start from 1200-1500 onwards

Okay. Never heard of it myself. But my friend has Nexus 7 and I have the camera, so if there is something interesting in this area, I'm willing to try out :)

Yes. I even took series of time lapse photos. Dont know how long the battery will last. But i'd have loved it if I could have the camera charged via the cable that connects it to the PC, but then a dual li-ion cell need upwards of 7 volts :(

I suppose a battery grip would help, though the Canon grip is very expensive. I don't know if grips from other manufacturers are easily available in India, or how well they work.
