camera buffs.Which one?

^ That’s pretty much exactly what I did. Shopped around and found a good deal from a site I trusted (newegg, amazon, buy.com, ritz camera, butterfly photo, adorama).

At the time I bought the Newegg deal was the best, but that deal with Amazon is pretty good right now. Not sure if the one you posted is the VR version of the 55-200 lense though. Most people highly recommended getting VR for when you’re shooting at 200mm without a tripod.
