I think if I was shooting still wildlife (as opposed to birds flying, fish jumping etc) I would be fine with the 55-300 as I tried it and found it to be quite comparable with the 70-300 (remember though I am strictly a "hobbyist") but I found the 70-300 quicker and faster on the focus and a bit sharper/quicker  on the longer end of the zoom when taking action shots. The 18-105 is on my camera 95% of the time and I love its versatility and quality combo. WHichever you choose to buy, remember to look for refurbished lenses from reputable dealers for good deals. Also, X-mas is coming soon and Santa may want to reward you......</p></blockquote><p></p>
