jcdeboever said:So am I correct in that the lens I referenced would work on a d3300? I might just get that Bigma or save up and get the 200-500. What do you think?
Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR lens

Yes, the new E-series 200-500 WILL mount,meter,and shoot at all apertures on a D3300. I verified this. The D3000, and some other lower-end bodies and older bodies, will not have full functionality with an E-series lens aperture system, but the D3300 is a full, 100% "go" with an E-series like the new 200-500mm.
I have not seen many photos from the new 200-500, but I think I would most likely rather own it than a 150-500 Sigma. The constant aperture over the entire length of the zoom is a nice feature, and it has a new Sport VR mode, plus it's a Nikkor, so I think the color rendition would be perfect for a Nikon camera.
