NOTE - below is from Nikon's press release - it is not my words.
My thoughts - the camera is nice and light, 60p Full HD video and the deeper grip will help (the improvement to D810 was great). 300mm f4 - I am sure this is going to be popular with sports and wildlife shooters who can't justify the f2.8. What do you think?? Leave your thoughts as a comment below.

- A PF lens element, Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element and Nano Crystal Coat work in tandem for minimised chromatic aberration and ghosting
- Highly durable fluorine coat applied to the lens front effectively repels dust, water droplets, grease or dirt, ensuring easy removal even if they adhere to the lens surface
- Incorporates Silent Wave Motor (SWM)technology to unobtrusively convert "travelling waves" into rotational energy to focus the optics
- Vibration Reduction (VR) in the AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II minimises image blur caused by camera shake and provides an effect equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed 4.0 stopsfaster for sharp and clear images
