I always laugh when i hear this brought up...If you really want to be disappointed in your 18-55, test it against a Sigma 18-50 F/2.8 DC EX HSM macro... this lens has handily beaten the $1500 Nikkor 17-55 in shoot-outs done by 3 independent photo magazines last year.
That would be the definition of disappointment right there... lol

But that is comparing apple to oranges.
The Sigma 18-50 make for low-light with the f/2.8
Nikon 18-55 NOT make for low light and cheaply built
If you want a cheap start up lens, I'd say go for nikon 18-70. If you want a much better lens, and can spend a few hundred more, the sigma 18-50 or tamron 17-50 or tokina 16-50 etc. Combine that with maybe a 55-200 (a cheap but pretty good lens) and you'd be set for awhile.
Sorry I got mine for like 100 dollars used, and it was brand freakin new XD. I was talking used prices when I said that. Sorry for any confusion.The Sigma 18-50 f2.8 is only $25-$75 more than the Nikon 18-70...
I would never describe the image quality of that lens anywhere near amazing.
I'm not surprised that folks that sent their Tamron lenses to Sigma for repair were invoiced.That "cheap" Sigma 18-50 is sharper than a Nikkor $1500 17-55...
