I been compleatly impress with not only the D3100 but the with the VR55-200mm as well. im sure you will be very happy with this purchase.

Wouldn't it be great to get some serious telephoto zoom reach without filling up most of your gadget bag with a big clunky lens? The Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX VR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED fits the bill with a remarkably compact design, and it's less than half the weight of its big brother, the Nikon...

I am a novice, but wanted to purchase the zoom lens for my Nikon camera. It's super easy to change the lens and use. It comes with a nice pouch to store the lens in. I was extremely happy that my order arrived sooner than expected.

The zoom action is very smooth and the VR feature works quite well in low light, allowing hand-held images to be taken where a tripod would have to be...

Not as versatile as my 18-200mm VR that came with my D200; but since I carry 2 bodies at all times; it does not make much of a diffrence
