Had to return the AF-P series camera due to my own error. It is not compatible with my daughter's Nikon D3200. Camera Camera had very simple process for the return by providing a UPS shipping label and as soon as it was recieved by them a refund was immediately made.

Its a very good lens for video capturing. Auto focus is excellent. It focuses very quickly it here is adequate light.No noice during the focus. Only negative thing about the lens is it not fits comfortably on my Nikon D5300 DSLR compared to all other lenses I have.

If your budget is more flexible you can nab a telezoom with a bit more reach. We like the Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary as a light zoom with compatibility for both DX and full-frame (FX) cameras.

It's easy to get a great telezoom if you have a lot of money to spend, and don't mind a big, heavy hunk of glass hanging off of your SLR. But quality performance isn't always easy to get when you want a lightweight lens that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Enter the Nikon AF-P DX Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR ($399.95), which cuts cost, size, and weight with a narrow aperture design and an image circle that only covers the DX (APS-C) sensor format. It delivers sharp images at every focal length, although it does lose a bit of resolution when pushed to 300mm. Still, it's a strong option for photographers who don't use a full-frame camera, especially given its cost. Design: Small and Light, With VR The DX Nikkor 70-300mm ($396.95 at Amazon) isn't a big lens, despite being a telezoom. It measures 4.9 by 2.8 inches (HW) when set to the 70mm position and weighs 14.6 ounces. The barrel does telescope when zoomed in, extending an additional 3 inches or so when set to the 300mm position...

The Nikon AF-P DX Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR is a low-cost telezoom lens for DX format SLRs. It's light, compact, and delivers quality images as long as you don't zoom in all the way.

I rented this only to see if it's time to retire my good, old 70-300 VR FX. Summary: Yes, I'm switching. I compared the two lenses on my D7200 and D7500s, taking hundreds of identical pictures and then placing best-of-three in each group side by side.

Very sharp; instant AF; amazing VR; priced right

Entry level construction and handling; some flare

The Nikon AF-P DX Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR Lens is a great performer, especially when you consider the price. Currently, you can pick up the VR version for less than ￡300, while the non-VR version, which is otherwise the same, for less than ￡200.

I have had this lens for a short time. I bought it for use with a D7200 body. But since my 70-200 lens is in for repair, I have been using this dx 70-300 on my D850. Have been getting surprisingly good results. Don't know how durable a plastic lens will be, but for the price it is worth the risk.

I was very excited when I got this lens as a multi lens and SLR package with a D7200. I wanted to use the zoom on my D7000, and my all purpose lens on my newer, faster camera body. I placed the lens on my D7000, and it did nothing. The lens will not communicate with the D7000.

Firstly - I have only been taking photos a month. This is my first camera and this was the first lens I purchased for it (aside from the stock lens that came with it). I am using a D5300 and I am learning as much as I can whilst trying out equipment unfamiliar to me.
