Nikon 18-55mm VR

Strengths: Can shoot in low light, slower shutter speed and still get pretty sharp pictures.

Weakness: Zoom ring seems to be slightly tighter then the non-VR version, otherwise no weakness I can see.

So I decided to upgrade to the 18-55mm VR, which is suppose to counter handshaking of your camera.

Camera Labs – Nikkor DX 18-55mm VR review

The Nikkor DX 18-55mm VR is the company's latest budget kit lens, designed for use with its entry-level DSLRs. It's the standard bundle with the D60 but also available separately for anyone who wants an affordable stabilised lens for their Nikon DX-format body. The DX 18-55mm VR delivers the same 27-83mm equivalent range as its predecessor, the DX 18-55mm II, and also shares the same f3.5-5.6...
