Ummmmmmm......!!! ;-)
It is the lens that determines image quality, so why
put a large amount of money into a top-end pro
body and put a so-so lens on it???? The N28-105 is
not particularly good, and the Tamrom is not good
at all, if you are at all critical... Start with the
best non-zooms (see "SLE[MN]", the first entry under
"I babble" on my web page for a selection of the
best lenses), and a cheaper body (the F100 is still
top-end, but cheaper; other choices that are excellent
[and good used purchases] 8008, F3, FM2n - these combined
with 3-4 first-rate non-zooms [or the 80-200 f2.8, one
of the VERY few top-class zooms...] will give you much
better images, under a MUCH greater range of conditions!).
Avoid the mistake of thinking of an SLR systems-body
as the basis for a BIG/HEAVY/EXPENSIVE point-'n'-shoot...
