Nikkor 70-300mm VR lens video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Nikkor 70-300mm VR lens using a Nikon D80 body, demonstrating its build quality, coverage and features. There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.

Good points

Great all-round telephoto zoom.
Very effective VR anti-shake facilities.
Fast and quiet SWM focusing.
Perfectly complements DX 18-70mm lens.
Works with full-frame bodies.

Bad points
Bigger and heavier than DX 55-200mm VR.
Zoom ring a little stiff, but at least no creep.
DX 55-200mm VR a cheaper alternative.
