<p>All the lenses in this class have a special purpose - versatility and convenience - and from what I can read and see in this thread it seems to satisfy that need. <br>
I am curious about the comments that the Nikkor 18-200 VR lens was designed for 6MP technology, but the D7100 has a 24MP sensor, and so somehow supposedly the lens is less adequate. The lens is not digital. It is just a lens and the optics are independent of the number of pixels on the sensor plane. Can someone please explain how an optical lens can be designed differently depending on the digital resolution of the image sensor? One would have thought that a good lens would be equally good in all cameras and it is the quality of the rest of the camera that might improve the quality of the photographs - with the same lens. </p>
