[QUOTE="simonhodge, post: 36615, member: 8134"] Hi, I'm getting very close to buying my first Nikon and have decided on a D7000. I currently have a Sony A200 and feel its time to step up and changing to Nikon is the right think for me though i know many people will be against changing brands. What i'm looking help with is lens advise. I recently shot a wedding using the Sony and really struggled getting what i wanted inside due to the poor light. I know this was down to poor lens and flash and that the A200 is not the hotest DSLR out there. I know the D7000 will be much better shooting in low light but i also now know the value of a decent flash. So that aside its down to lens. I am thinking a Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 but have heard great reviews of the Nikon 17-200mm F3.5-5.6. Obviously the Sigma will be better in low light but what i am wondering will the D7000's ability to shot in low light actually make the 17-200 ok or should i go for the Sigma? Price they are about the same but obviously the Nikon has a much better range. Any advice would be great. Thanks Simon [/QUOTE]
