Also when you say you mainly shoot people, i am suprised no one has asked in what capacity you shoot them. Do you do portraits or again street based work?? If portraits then look at a good macro lens which can be doubled up as a portait lens so you get tw purposes for one lens. If street work then get the lowest F you can. You could afford the 50m F1.4 which is a stunner and then you could still get a decent zoom and wide angle like the 18-270 Tamron or the 18-200 like you say. With £1200, you have some good options.

10-20 is a little too wide. like i said my main problem is slow lenses my 50mm will do as a portrait lens as its 75mm on APS-C. this is the only time i will have such a large amount of money to spend so i really want a 2.8 and the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 Stabilised is too good to miss at £900. The reason i am choosing the d5100 was cost i am on a tight budget i cant find a d90 anywhere with a kit lens for less than £530 also i want the articulating LCD. And if im gonna buy a camera with movie mode i at least want it to auto track which the d90 doesnt. And the d5100 is a very capable performer at higher ISO. Thx anyway for the advice.
