They are pretty much equals when it comes to image quality. But this brings up the question of a possible lens upgrade opportunity also. Have a look at the 18-105VR, its as sharp and the extra range is very handy to have, but the price is about double the 18-55VR. There are others that would be good to look at. Just ask yourself if there is anything the 18-55 didn't give you that you might like to have?
Mt Shooter, the lens I gave my niece was really really sharp. I bought the 18-55 vr from National Camera today, took a few pictures with it and brought it back. Bought one of their non-vr 18-55 used kits instead. Brought it home, took some test pictures with it and I am back in the ball game. Rockwell and others are right. The non=vr is much sharper. At least that's my experience with the len's. I'm going full frame in the next year. Probably a D 600. In the meantime I wanted my 18-55 Back.
