[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 441951, member: 23887"] AF-S lenses have a focus motor built in, while AF lenses don't. Your camera doesn't have a built-in focus motor, so it needs a lens with its own motor (AF-S) to autofocus. An AF lens will work fine with your camera, but only in manual focus. For landscape photography you usually need a wide-angle lens, not a 70-300 mm telephoto. Your kit lens is probably just fine right now. I'd suggest to spend some time learning your camera and photography with your current kit before you buy any other lens. We tend to say on this forum that if you don't know which lens to buy, then you probably don't need it (yet). [/QUOTE]
