So....in my continual quest to purchase a New DSLR (Not to mention save for one....I have run into a few obstacles)

First. Is the 18-70 F3.5 lenses that comes in the D70 kit better for sports photography in low light then the Cannon Kit lens 18-75 F4.0, or should I just get a external flash and negate the whole comparison....

I guess the nuts and bolts of my question are......If money is not an issue which is the best Kit lens to go with w/o External flash for low light (indoor) photography? Do the .5 F-stop differences really make a difference?

Suggestions are welcome, for my question, or a different lens all together....my goal would be to get a 17-85, or a little larger with a Good F-stop, so that I don’t need a external flash in the beginning
