Thank you Cynthia! I may end up having to bring 2 lenses b/c I want my prime lens and I want a zoom, but b/c of the aperture on a zoom (the ones I can afford anyways) it doesn't take as great pictures indoors. I will check and see if Canon has a lens similar to what you have. f/4 is a great aperture for a zoom lens! Thank you again for your advice
