Hi Matt.
I just bought a Nikon d7000 plus the 18-105mm kit lens and the 55-300mm lens. Should I sell one of them or both and buy this 18-300mm instead?

@Ragnar: Lenses tend to have worse image quality as the amount of zoom increases. You should wait for some reviews, but I don't think the 18-300mm will have stellar image quality. It is also $1000 and weighs more than 800 grams. I think your current setup will have considerably higher image quality in a lighter package.
Personally, I would replace the 18-105mm with a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 non-VC, or add the 35mm f/1.8. Heck, if you have $1000 to spend, get a second hand Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8.
Do you need 300mm? If so, the 55-300mm is good value. I don't need that much reach, so I use the new 85mm f/1.8 on my D7000 instead.
Yes, just buy it.
Trust me, I know.
Hello Matt,
Love your reviews - living in Holland, though.
I bought last monday Nikor 70-300. I can still change my mind and get the new 18-300, costing me more.
I feel attrackted by it's size and not to need exchange lenses all the time.The money is not a real issue, I just want to get the lens that is good for me and stays with me for the next 15 years or so.
What should you do?
X100 Reinforcements are here!
Hands down the most beautiful camera I have ever seen...
Packing for Iceland ?? Landscape and Bird Photography.
Too Little Too Late? After 6 years we finally get 6 Sigma lenses on the way... all are APSC and all are the basic Contemporary range. NO Full Frame. NO Art or Sport lenses....
The Size & Weight savings is unbelievable - and the IQ remains top tier. Well done!
Every full frame Sony Alpha Camera Compared!
This may be the best long lens I have ever used. Period. From any era. Any manufacturer.
Would you buy this? I compare it to the 24-200 Nikkor.
Cheaper and Lighter than Sony GM - is it better?
