I guess that answers it then, the faster focus and manual override would both be very useful features, it's a pity there's no cashback on this lens!

Thanks for the replies, the photos looks very nice and sharp! So, if the 55-300 will perform similarly, am I best off saving the £150~ and going this route?

I thought this was an easy choice, until I read a lot about how soft the 70-300 is beyond 200, which makes me think it's a bit pointless, so I'm back to wondering if I should go the 55-300 route instead? Full frame isn't a consideration I have to worry about for a good while, I'm more...

It is indeed, it's a nice cheap but effective lens, I was amazed how good it is in low light (I'm not too keen on flash you see!) I think that lens has cashback as well, so it's a good time to buy.

I have a D7000, I moved up from the D5000 with an 18-55 kit lens, which I actually miss as it was nice and light and small, but the 18-105 seems an ok kit lens to be fair. I'm also looking at the 70-300 VR lens presently, so will be interested to see what others say. The 55-300 has Nikon...

I'm off to sunnier climbs soon with the d7000 and want a decent polarising filter to go with it, but wondered if a graduated nd filter would double up, and kill two birds with one stone?

I've ended up buying an eye fi card as I want to be able to email photos from my iPhone, no other option seems available!

No it gives the message that the accessory is not supported :(

DSLR to iPhone transfer? I really enjoy my DSLR, but I find it frustrating that I can't send my photos using my iPhone and would really like to be able to use the iPad camera connection to transfer photos on to my iPhone, is there any way to make this work or any suggested route for me to take?

There was a nice sunset tonight, so I popped out and took a few, this was about the best:

Thanks for the advice :)

I'm after a new lens for my D7000, I enjoy macro photography, but don't have a suitable lens. I have about £200 to spend and would appreciate some suggestions My current collection: Nikkor 18-105 AF-S VR(kit lens) Nikkor 55-200 AF-S VR Nikkor 35mm AF-S Samyang 8mm Fisheye

I quite like this one from my camera phone:

I'm interested in this, but don't understand the principal of how to yah photos using gpx master and something like Flickr, is it easy enough, and is it fairly automated or labour intensive?

From what I've read the second version of the lens doesn't suffer the zoom creep, might be something worth considering.
