I just got the Nikon D5600 with two kit lenses, one being 18 - 55 mm kit lens and this lens as well for about $650 USD. Wow!! What a deal!! The camera is a beginner DSLR but is really nice to use and hold and both the lenses actually work very well. I am impressed with the image quality from the 24.2 MP sensor through both these lenses. Not all of us are Pro camera men and so we just need a decent image not necessarily the opportunity to use the one in ten thousand shot facility. Do you really need to have a shutter that does 1/8000 of a second?? Do you really need an F0.95 lens?? A camera set up like this one gives the family man a great camera and great shots. Thank you Nikon.

Got this lens in combo with the D3500 and 18-55mm lens for about 500$, and upgraded later to a D7200 with the Sigma 150-600 sports lens but I still love the 70-300 lens, its just so compact and lightweight compared to the sigma lens, and the optical quality is pretty good even throught it is pretty unexpensive
@johnparo7096 жыл бұрын
This is a very sharp lens, also lightweight, great feel to the zoom, it can't be beat for the money. I used this lens to get some great shots of hummingbirds near my home.
@josephnevin6 жыл бұрын
Got it for my d5300 and loving it very much.. The construction may look similar to the 18-55 kit lens but the optics are really really good. The images are sharp even at 300mm and the sharpness is even better than my yongnuo 50 mm f1. 8 prime. The AF is as fast as the kit lens and the VR allows me to go below 1/125s shutter speed at 300mm which is impressive in its own right. To anyone planning to get this lens, I'd give my green flag to go ahead and get it. The price is just so affordable. Just make sure you get the variant with VR. The little extra is well worth paying for.

I was surprised by beginner questions here. Due to swivel LCD panel and excellent image quality, I always felt this is a more than good enough camera for the experienced, but, indeed, beginners pay attention to this camera so much. Then, I do not see many pros using this camera at all. So my bad. Haha~! This lens is very sharp but not many people know that. You pick that point!!! But it is also sold as a bundle lens often without "VR." People should pay attention to "VR" at the end of lens name. I just wished you mention that in your video, too.
