It is true that some lenses gather more light than others. I generally associate those lenses with big bucks. But you could compromise, forgo the zoom and get a faster "fixed" lens without the zoom. This would be less money.

Personally I would not like to operate without a zoom. I've shot a bushel basket full of kids with a standard zoom lens.
