I just bought an 18-200 VR on Friday. Thought I'd never get my hands on
one. Took some shots this weekend, and so far, I'm pretty impressed with
the sharpness. Haven't had a real good opportunity to take advantage of the
VR yet. I'll post a couple of shots taken with the new glass "over there".

They would be well advised to offer a 14-70. Even a 14-55. The 18-70
isn't wide enough for a lot of interior shots aboard a boat (same as
about a 27mm lens on a 35 mm camera) and the 10.5mm images can be
converted to rectilinear with Nikon's Capture software but the results
can be surprising. You have to be thinking about the "isms" in the
correction program the entire time you're using the 10.5
