Review (Summary): "...Unlike the earlier DX 55-200mm lens, the new model features Vibration Reduction, VR, technology which provides optical stabilization, allowing you to handhold shots at shutter speeds three stops slower than normal. It’s also an AF-S model which means quick and quiet auto-focusing and compatibility with both the D40 and D40x, along with other DX-format Nikon DSLRs. ..."
The Nikkor DX 55-200mm VR is a great entry-level telephoto zoom for Nikon DSLR owners. It’s compact, very light, offers respectable quality, quick and quiet AF, decent VR, and best of all is available at a great price. ..."
