[QUOTE="Texas, post: 664151, member: 42267"] There's lots of Nikon 70-300 models out there these days. Both older and newer. Your research has just begun. Look for FF vs. DX, type of autofocus motor, VR or not, max f stop, etc. Most of these models are still being manufactured or sold from older stock and included as kit lenses in new camera boxes. I have the 70-300 VR Full Frame and like it better than the (now super cheap) older 70-300 simply because the VR at slow shutter speeds is fun. Some say VR is useless above 1/250 sec shutter speeds because it can degrade the picture a bit. I've not seen this. In real life, lots of your daytime outdoor shutter speeds at tele zooms will be at shutter faster than 1/250 so VR won't be useful anyway. The newest 70-300 for DX is claimed to be better (as well as smaller) than the old FF's in the reviews I've read. [/QUOTE]
