Hi,

After reading many of threads, a common theme is "investing in glass is the long term investment, not investing in the body." I'm hearing and becoming a believer. I've been waffling between the nikon d90 and waiting to see what the canon 7d looks like when it's generally available, but now I'm thinking about scaling back to maybe the nikon d5000 or the Canon T1i and invest in a better set of lenses.

One of the major pushes for this is all of the kids pictures taken in a dim auditorium. I'd like to get a zoom that could do 200 or 300 well in low light.

My question is: Could you provide some guidance on zooms that would work well in low light, preferably without breaking the bank?? Understanding where both brands, canon/nikon, fall in this arena will probably sway my decision.

Thanks,

Tom
