Well yeah, but the 18-55 is an awesome lens for its price.

nuff' said, considering our high canadian ratio

Epic

the 55-200 is the same quality lens as the 18-55 that came with you camera. It is just a telephoto version of the 18-55. I recommend something with a f/2.8 or prime unless your on a strict budget that only fits the 55-250. I would save your money because the nikon 80-200 is just over 1k and seems fairly decent. Of course not as baller as the 70-200.

yeah the 80-200 f/2.8 is brilliant, and you should be able to get a used one for a steal

I got the Nikkon AF-S 55-300mm 4.5-5.6 G DX-ED VR for my d3100

The only way that should be done is if you get the 80-200 with the af-s. The 3100 doesn't have an internal auto focus motor. The 80-200 with af-s is a couple hundred dollars more, plus it is more difficult to find used. It can be done though.

ah yeah true, forgot they do that for their entry lvl models

Yeah its fucking retarded. My D80 has it though so I don't have much to complain about.
