The included 18-200mm VRII lens provides excellent wide angle to telephoto coverage for everything from landscapes to action sports. Vibration Reduction (VR) eliminates unwanted camera shake to give images unsurpassed sharpness and clarity - even under low light. All these features and more make the Nikon D5000 and 18-200mm lens a perfect match for all of your photographic needs.
DX-Nikkor lenses are engineered and optimized for use on Nikon DX-format D-SLRs and are designed to cover the smaller image area of the DX sensor. When a DX lens is mounted on an FX-format Nikon D-SLR, the camera's DX-Crop Mode is automatically engaged, introducing a 1.5x magnification (cropping) factor.
