Hi Guys, I am looking to get my first SLR & after extensive research I am left with 2 options that I can't decide between. I will mainly be using it for outdoor photography & photography in low light & night-time conditions. In all likelihood, it might get slightly wet (not soaked). Image quality & colour depth is of utmost importance.
My options are as follows (these work out to the same price approximately).
Which of these do you think is a better buy?
Update: It has recently been brought to my attention that the Tamaron lens which I was considering for the Pentax camera is no good in low light due to it's slow maximum aperture (F3.5 - F6.3). The lens for the Nikon however is f3.5-5.6. Is there any alternative? I'm not keen on using flash & the 18-200 mm range seemed like a nice all-rounder.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Ducky
