If you want the reach either look at the 70-300 VR or the 55-300 VRII. I have the 55-300 and love it. I talked my dad into getting one as he had the 55-200 VR. He was concerned with hand shake, he is in his early 70's but he has no trouble with it at all. The 300 zooms with VR are all well received and have great reviews. If you are interested you can go to [url=http://www.adorama.com/]Digital cameras, all other cameras and everything photographic from Adorama Camera[/url] and they will give you reviews on all three of those lenses. I will say that those reviews are not as flattering for the non-VR lens. I personally liked the 55-300. It is only a DX lens but that is what I have.
