Given it has a 55 - 200mm VR lens, that is crap to drive up the price.
Better off with a 70-300mm as digital can do the low end without a fuss
using the regular lenses.


Might you translate that paragraph into standard English?

Are you saying VR is "crap," simply there "to drive up the price?"
If so, on what basis would you make such a statement? What does that
statement mean?

And what does "digital can do the low end without a fuss using the
regular lenses" mean?

The low end of what? Fuss about what? Are you trying to say it would be
better using a fixed focal length prime lens? What focal length? 35mm?
On a Nikon SLR crop sensor, that would be the equivalent of a 52.5 mm or
"normal" lens. It's also a $250 lens.
