Which AF-S lens is best with Nikon d3200?

I'm planning to buy a Nikon d3200 with 18-55mm lens and also either one of the below lens.

Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G (4.3x) Lens
(or)
Tamron AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro

My expectation with the lens is that, it must have built-in motor as Nikon d3200 does not have motor to support other AF lens

When searching for lens, I have found some 70-300 mm lens cost much higher than the above two. For example, Tamron AF 70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD. It cost around 44,000.

I was assuming 70-300mm lens can do much more than a 70-200mm lens. Since the price was much different. Anyone could help me understand the difference.

You really need to do some basic research into what you are thinking about buying…

Lenses can be important… You need to understand how you are going to use them and you also need to understand what you want from them… If you have the experience to do this… Then you will be capable of working out how much you should invest in your purchase.

Don't assume anything when you so obviously don't understand the product…

I can't be bothered explaining the difference… Buy or borrow a photography guide book… And put some effort into what you 'claim' to be interested in.

There isn't any point in buying something… If you don't have a clue how to use it.

The Nikon AF 70-300mm does NOT have a built in focus motor so it will not autofocus on the D3200.

If you want such a lens, then get the Nikon AF-S 70-300mm (AF-S means built-in motor, AF means no motor).
