Cons: Abit overexposed when shooting outdoor especially under bright sunny condition (except for dark cloudy situation). Set to -1.0 to get a richer sharper balanced image. Low light condition may be abit tricky but as long as you know how to play around with suitable ISO and Shutter speed, then it'll be alright even handheld.
Pros: Inexpensive, it's light to carry with decent built quality. Sharp from 55mm all the way to 200mm. VR is truly an advantage and helpful especially from 135 to 200mm. Great colour production and also fast AF.
Summary: Made a research through several sites and no doubt, all the reviews were correct about this lens. It's worth to invest with and it's not too big to bring along wherever you go. VR is truly important for tele lens and the VR on this is working very well expected. I've got nothing to complain for a lens with such price. No regret spent on this lens, go for it! Becoz it has got good 2nd hand value too when you wanted to let it go in the future for another lens :)

Cons: cheap construction, AF may be more accurate and fast, expecially accurate.
Pros: very good image quality straight over 200mm. Many 70-300 lenses performs decent until 200mm, then lacks in quality. This Nikkor generates in every condition, excellent images. Efficient VR system, but cheaper than other Nikkor lenses.
Summary: excellent price/performance ratio. Very recommended.
