is your 55-200 the "kit" lens if so its decent. You wouldn't be gaining anything with the 300 without spending big $$$ on a low f stop lens. Also its harder to get good action shots on the dx sensor vs fx full frame in lowish light with a zoom.

yeah, both my lenses came with "the kit" during a Hunts Photo Sale they always throw once a year. i was looking at the same kind of nikon lens but the 75-300mm version. or it might be 85-300mm. retail i think it ran for 395.

this is what you and I are looking for;

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II Lens 2185 B&H Photo

but at almost $2500 is not gonna happen. If you really got your pants in a bunch over a 300 zoom rent one and try it out but I think your wasting your money oh and go over to dpreview they have alot of forums to choose from and a functioning search. I say that cause those guys sling some arrows if you ask inane questions that have been asked a hundred times so if your thin skinned watchout otherwise someone will point you in the right direction
