From the Manufacturer
The Nikon Total Digital SLR Imaging System includes world-renowned optical quality from Nikkor lenses. Ongoing research and development of Nikkor lenses allows Nikon to continuously provide Nikon digital SLR photographers with additional choices and even greater optical performance.
Nikon is pleased to add to the lineup the new AF-S DX-Nikkor 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G VR, a lens featuring a built-in Silent Wave Motor and Vibration Reduction (VR). The AF-S DX-Nikkor 18- 55mm f3.5-5.6G VR is an affordable, and compact, 3x zoom lens with amazing versatility. This new lens provides enhanced shooting flexibility as the latest addition to the Nikon DX-Nikkor lens lineup.

- Vibration Reduction enables sharper pictures while shooting at shutter speeds up to three stops slower than would otherwise be possible (as determined by Nikon performance tests)
- Optical design, optimized for use with Nikon digital SLRs for superior performance
- Hybrid aspherical lens element minimizes various types of lens aberration
- High-performance Nikon Super Integrated Coating offers superior color reproduction while substantially reducing ghosting and flare
- Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor ensures fast, quiet autofocus operation
- Rounded seven-blade diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural
- 0.28 meter/0.9 foot closest focusing distance throughout the entire zoom range
- Accepts 52mm filter attachments

In-depth review from dpreview.com:The 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G AF-S VR is certainly a worthy upgrade to Nikon's already well-regarded kit lens. The addition of the Vibration Reduction system, which seems equally capable as those previously only available on more expensive lenses such as the 18-200mm VR, greatly extends shooting flexibility into low-light situations which would previously have required a faster lens or tripod. And the optics are at least as good as before, meaning you'll get few nasty surprises when those precious images are viewed up-close on the computor monitor.

The manual focus ring sucks, it just slides around, no dampening at all apparently. If you need to capture something fast, use the autofocus. The manual ring will do if the auto's just a little off, but it seems to work really well.
Two switches--VR on/off and M/A for focus mode. Zoom ring is comfortable, focus ring sucks. This is a G lens--no aperture ring.
Image quality is great, no complaints here. As I said, it doesn't quite match the sharpness of my 50mm prime, but of course, I wouldn't expect it to. It's excellent for its purpose, and I'm very happy with the quality.
Focuses at around 5.5" I got a little closer than that on manual at the wide end if I remember right. The depth of field was about half an inch around that point, but it's not a steep drop off (so, no really great subject separation) Still good, though.
Didn't notice any ghosting or flare described earlier, but I don't do highly contrasted scenes with bright lighting, like city nightscapes. Or at least, I don't use a zoom for it.
VR works well. I didn't have any problem getting sharp images at this speed anyway, but it definitely helps with natural lighting.
Little heavy on the D40, tips the balance to the lens a bit. Not enough to need the grip, but I bet the old ED II (which is still the kit lens with the D40) was a little more balanced. When I can get the VR version for a Franklin (flawless refurbished from Cameta, 90 day warranty), though, I can't argue.
Really happy with it, definitely grab one if Cameta has a refurb. It's well worth the retail price, as well.
The unit was easy to understand, set up and start using. It is a bit trying on the patience to have to wait for the the battery to charge for an hour and half because I like to get my hands in right away with the thrill of having something new.
From just shooting pictures in my back yard, the quality is incredible. I love the auto focus feature. SLR cameras have come a long way in 30 years. The onboard editing and filtering features are nice and work well.
I've ordered the zoom lense for this camera and can't wait for it to come since I love to shoot landscapes and wildlife. Living in Virginia there is so much beauty to shoot. Plus there is a family of deer that come wandering out into a field next to my back yard and I've been wanting to take some really cool pictures of them without scaring them away.
I can't wait for my friend's reactions when they see some of my new pictures pop up in my digital frame.
I'm so happy to be back into SLR-land again. I remember all kinds of cool times with my old camera and I can't wait to make some new memories with this one.
My old point and shoot digital was ok but this by far takes the most incredible images I've ever seen. The pictures look like ones out of a magazine.
My only complaint about this lens, it is a bit too light. That's crazy sounding even from my own mouth; but I have a feeling that it's a plastic-body lens that will break if I look at it funny. Attached to a magnesium D200, it feels like an emergency spare tire on a Ferrari. With my heavy camera, it does feel more balanced than lets say a Sigma 300mm f4; but at the cost of how much durability?
I guess light weight is a two way street.
The autofocus does work but there are loud whining sounds like it’s on its last leg sand there is noticeable binding in the movement. The description said white box (new) bulk packaging but it’s definitely a used lens. They could have at least cleaned the dirt off the lens and lens cap.
Now aside from not being new or in all that great a shape, it is a good lens and still takes sharp images. Once I cleaned it and made sure there weren’t any scratches on the optics, I did take some photos through all the ranges and it’s still sharp and clear. It’s light weight and a great little general purpose lens that’s worth the lower cost.
FYI, used and dirty does not equal bulk packaging new.

Pretty good optically although there is some distortion at both ends of the zoom. The manual focus is also VERY sensitive and quite difficult to get spot on. Autofocus is quick and accurate.
Reasonably small and light and takes 52mm filters.
Remember this is a superceded model and lacks some of the bells and whistles of the current version, hence the lower price. Nonetheless it is still a very competent lens.
Toutefois l'utilisation en intérieur vous obligera à mettre le flash.
Sinon rien à dire du très bon matériel.
