  I was kicking around on DCW earlier tonight, they've got the RX100 IV for a pretty reasonable price (well, relative to the RRP anyway), too, $1098:

  USD - $449

  That's a bit steep isn't it?

    ha. Tamron is famous for ridiculously long lens names. Edited the title.

  I used to have the 18-270 when I had a Nikon D90, it was more of an allrounder compared to what the 70-300 would be in my opinion. Around the same price I see http://www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/prod11262.htm

      Yes but it is for full frame camera. It would be 110mm to about 450mm on your d3300. Try an 18-200 or 18-300 from Nikon or 18-270 tamron or 16-300 from someone else who I can't recall now.

    The Tamron 18-270mm isn't even full frame compatible.

  I have been using this one on my full frame D700 for five years now. It always delivers solid pictures. Highly recommendable for someone who looks for a budget tele zoom.

    I've had issues with missed focus doing birding with mine on a Canon. (The cheap Canon 70-300 consumer lenses are rubbish and I'm NOT paying $1400 for an L series lens that's f4.5-5.6). Seems worse at closer distances (but definitely not at minimum distance). In fact I've had bad luck with Tamron lenses. My 90mm Macro has a horrible backfocus issue that I can only correct on my newer cameras with AF fine tuning - which I set to -20 on each camera. Ridiculous.

  I have one, its pretty good for the price but cant help feeling it'll fall apart at any moment. The nikon equivalent is about $80 more and is widely regarded as being a good buy.

    The 70-300VR is a wonderful lens. I had one fail due to AF motor. Unfortunately this seems to be a common problem. 22% annual repair rate at lensrentals.

    Knowing this, I still replaced it with another. I haven't used anything close to as good in that price range. I have the Tamron version on a Canon mount and certainly don't love it the way I love the Nikon.
