I have an 18-200 for my Canon and it is a great "vacation" lens. It is very versatile and is works awesome for landscapes and portraits.

Another huge plus is you are not changing lenses and running the risk of getting dirt/dust in your camera body.

I also have a 50mm f1.8 for low light situations.

It is going to be tough if you are trying to get fast shutter speeds in low light situations with any lens. I would suggest playing with your ISO as well, even going up to an ISO of 400 you don't have much noticeable noise in the picture. I am pretty sure it is called noise, Regulator would know better.
