While the lens itself has great reviews I can't support buying it from Walmart or their supplier. The box came heavily damaged without any packing support to keep it from bouncing around inside the outer cardboard box.

Finally Nikon provided a tilt shift lens that enables the user to change the orientation in the field depending upon its use for architectural or landscape photography. Canon has provided this feature for all of its tilt shift lenses since 2009 so it is great that Nikon is at least providing it with...

Such a great lens for near and far! Was tired of trading out lenses and love this!

Nobody expects a zoom with as ambitious of a range as the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR to be an impeccable optical performer. Issues like distortion are readily removed, either in-camera or via software, but there's no fixing a lack of detail.

Long 16.7x zoom range; Optical stabilization; 1:3 macro magnification; Relatively light and compact

Distortion throughout range; Weak edge and telephoto performance; Hood not included

The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR ($699.95) dangles the promise of an extremely long zoom range in front of photographers, making it appealing to shutterbugs looking to minimize lens changes or pack light for a vacation. Its build quality is solid, as you'd expect from Nikon, but its asking price is on the high side and image quality is very disappointing when zoomed past 200mm. It'd be a little easier to recommend at a lower price, but at $700 it's not too much of a stretch to opt for Nikon's pricier, far superior AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR instead. Design The 18-300mm follows the design paradigm of every other modern Nikkor zoom. Its barrel is black polycarbonate with gold accents, and both the zoom ring and manual focus ring have a textured finish. The lens measures 3.9 by 3.1 inches (HD), weighs 1.2 pounds, and supports 67mm front filters. It's smaller than the pricier 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G, which comes in at 4.7 by 3.3 inches, weighs 1.8 pounds, a...

The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR lens entices buyers with a long zoom range, but image quality at the telephoto end is lacking.

Superzooms have just got even more powerful with the Nikkor 18-300mm, but is it a lens for everyday use and what compromises have been made? Find out with the AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR review

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

I've now taken hundreds of shots with my Nikon D7100 to compare the A. 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G DX with B. 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G DX and C. 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G FX, chosen best of three in all categories and carefully compared them. Here's what I've observed: 1.

Impressive focal length range; handy size; saves having to change lenses in the field

Vignetting at 18mm; not super sharp; focus breathing at 300mm with close subjects; significantly overpriced

The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some
