Thanks Rick. Great forum with lots of info.
Thanks for the response kiwi. I thought that, optically, it is better to get at least 2 lenses rather than a superzoom to cover the focal lengths required. Would the 18-200 vr be sharper and give reasonable bokeh than 2 lenses. Yes I did mention that the camera would be used for travel portraits but I would be using the 18-105 for general purpose as various websites have the lens better than the 18-55 lens. Have I been mis-reading something?
