Is the lense 55-200mm for Nikon a good lense?

I have the Nikon D7000, and i like taking pictures of anything and the main lense i use in general is the 18-55mm but i don't like it because it dosent have a lot of zoom (was a bday present) so i was wondering if buying the 55-200 would be a better idea?

Added (1). And is it better than the 18-55? And should i sell my 18-55?

You need the 18-55 mm range to be able to shoot landscapes, groups and full body shots. Getting rid of it only makes sense if you buy a 18-200 mm lens as a single lens solution.

If you keep the 18-55 mm, then the 55-300 mm would be a better chioce since you seem to want to "reach out" and take photos of things far away

If you are in this game to stay then you should have both lenses, they do different things, one is not better than the other. They do make two versions of the 55-200, one is VR the other is not. The VR lens costs more and reduces vibration in the photo.

Keep the 18-55 for general shooting. Be sure to get the VR version. It is an adequate lens, although it is definitely an amateur lens. Look at these samples made with each 55-200 lens. The last 4 are non-VR. If you would satisfied with this image quality, go ahead and buy the lens.

The 18-55 lens is excellent for urban shooting, interiors and portraits, and some wide-angle landscapes. For deeper zoom there are excellent ultra-zooms (28-300) by Tamron, Sigma and Nikon, some of which are inexpensive and lightweight. I use a Tamron SP 28-300 lens for much of my hiking and landscape work, with a Tamron SP 17-35 for urban, interior and walking-around shots.

For serious shooting, the Nikkor ED primes and zooms: the 300 f/4, 180 f/2.8, 50 f/1.4 and the 17-35 f/2.8. Each of these opens a different door.

Although I have nothing against VR, I don't use it because it adds weight. Sometimes a lot of weight. And the extra stop is rarely worth it to me. But don't confuse VR with image quality. There are many methods of stabilizing a lens, and a fine lens will deliver fine quality whether VR is turned on or not.
