So i will let the experts speak!
The 18-135 is much better than the 18-55. It gives you better image quality, faster focus generally, longer reach, and its Weather Resistant. The suggestion that you get the 55-300 is a good one also because the 55-300 is a gem and is relatively inexpensive (I have a used one in great shape selling now for $175
). But seriously the 18-55 + 55-300 is a great beginners combo. I don't own a 18-55 any more because I bought an 18-135 myself. I had 3 different 18-55s and the best of the 3 wasnt as good as the 18-135 in its range.
Good luck with your decision.
