Pics look good. Why aren't you happy with the current lens? I'd like to have the 70-300 also, but have to save my pennies.

x2!

Yeah, the pics look good, maybe a little out of focus on the last two, but that might be the camera settings/light sources. Otherwise they are good. Do you shoot offhand or with a tripod or? The 200 lense can take some really nice shots.

Thanks guys
I don't like the zoom range being 200...
I don't like that it doesn't V/R This is the mane reason. Most of the pics that were trash were shot were with the 200mm NO V/R..

The last two were shot with the 200mm at 200, my hand aren't so sure no more.So i need V/R....
All pics were shot in live view free hand.

As wasilvers mentioned, a tripod will assist greatly in taking static shots. Walmart here carries an inexpensive monopod that telescopes, for around $15.00, which I've thought about buying. It's collapsible, lightweight, and inexpensive. Could come in handy while walking around the lakefront and places.

I like to travel light myself. I've looked at my camera bag (it's small) and wondered how I could use some velcro straps to attach a small monopod, but haven't come up with anything. The best thing to do, if my camera gear ever increases (which will not be for a long time, lol) would be to buy one of those Lowepro style camera backpacks, which range in size I believe.

Will look at those.

Here's a link to their website.

:shock: Wow, prices are steep on a bag that would basically "grow" with additional gear. May have to checkout the shoulder carried versions.

That's a nice bag, and the regular price is $99. Thanks for the info! Saved it to my favorites . I ord'd a new lens from B&H this afternoon: Nikkor DX AF-S 55-200mm VR. Should be here Monday hopefully, if the nasty weather in NY doesn't cause any shipping problems.

yep . I had it delieved to work, because it req'd a signature from UPS, but we were out of school today because of the weather. There is usually a secretary at work on these days, so I checked the tracking# of the package and it said the lense had been delivered. So, I drove to the school (6 miles) to get it, but when I got there everyone was gone except a custodian. I got him to unlock the front office, retrieved the lense, then went home. Now I just need some decent weather to go test it out.
