Keep the 18-70 and get the new 55-200mm VR sells for $249. Instead of a do all 18-200 for $750. I bring just the lens i think i will need to go shooting.

The 18-70 for macro or around the house type stuff, and 55-200 for travel, nature trails.

From Ken's site>>>RECOMMENDATIONS http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/55-200mm-vr.htm

If you're on a budget, get the 55-200mm VR. That's easy.

If you have the time to wait and the budget, the Nikon18-200mm VR is much more convenient than swapping between two lenses.

If you don't need the range beyond 55mm, I love the super lightweight and close-focusing 18-55mm kit lens. You may need no other lens. I make my best shots with wide angles; I rarely use teles. I prefer to get closer.

If you are a dedicated tele shooter, you may want to spend $500 on the better 70-300mm VR, $800 on the professional 80-200mm f/2.8 or $1,600 the professional 70-200mm f/2.8 VR. <<<
