so i'm guessing whether or not it's VR makes a big difference? and probably even so for me because i tend to have rather unsteady hands (i'll never be a surgeon!). The best prices i've run across have been on Amazon but the 18-200mm VR seems to run around 600-700 bucks best case scenario. I'm not sure i could pull that one off! not right now anyway. Amazon sells the d80 body for 729 on it's own, but also has a VR lens with a 18-55 range included for 889, i don't know that much about this stuff but amazon also sells a VR lens that is 55-200mm for 221. Would it make sense to mayeb buy the nikon D80 with the 18-55 AND the 55-200mm to cover the whole range rather than pay the 700 for the 18-200? the more i learn, the less i know!

thanks a lot everybody! i really appreciate the help!
