Can someone explain the zoom range ? Like the 18-200mm lens I'm looking at has a 11.1x zoom range vs the 300mm one which only has a 4.3x zoom range. What difference will it look like in my pictures?

The 17-55 f2.8 & the 70-200mm f2.8 VR II are definitely out of my budget though ... something under 1000?
I just picked up the Nikkor 16-85mm VR. GREAT lens. I love the 16mm.

What kind of things do you like taking pictures of?

Here's a link you might be interested in.

I really like taking pictures of landscapes.. so I really like the 16mm on the 16-85mm VR. The 18-200 is heavier, bigger, more expensive, a little bit less image quality. Since most of my photos never need Telephoto, I didn't think I needed the 100-200mm part. If you want a cheap telephoto, you could always get a 55-200mm. Very inexpensive and good quality lens.

These videos will help you out too.
