Indoor pics?

I could NOT agree more.
Laurelin,
Are you asking in regards to your to your D300 or D60?
I have an SB400 (should be all you need, unless you want to use it off camera, then you could get an SB600) and an SB600.
Since I've gotten my SB400, that sees way more use than my SB600, but that's because I'm not doing professional-style photography. I like my indoor snapshots to look nice and evenly lit, that's about all I am requiring from my indoor flash work.
For whatever reason, and I'm unsure WHY it does this (unless my D60 is possessed), but when I use my SB400 on my D60, it automatically raises my ISO to 800 or higher. I do NOT know why. But that's ok, since there is proper exposure, my pictures don't get that high ISO grainy look to them.
My D300 is well behaved and doesn't raise ISO on me when I use my external (speedlite) flashes.
ISO 800 on my D60 looks about how ISO400 does on my D300.

For example... we were in an aquarium taking pics. So no flash allowed. Dad was using the D300 and got some nice looking shots. I tried every setting I could think of and I couldn't get a single pic to turn out as anything but black.
Neither of your lenses are considered 'fast.' They are good lenses. Very flexible. But a 'fast' lens is one that you can open up wide. To a f1.4 like sizzles or an f1.8 for mine. It really allows you to get a lot more light in and work with different shutter speeds. You can also fade out the background a lot more.
