I'm planning to buy a new camera (Nikon D5600) and it turns out that they have two variants. One of the variants come with the usual 18-55mm lens and a 70-300mm telephoto lens. The build as per me, as I've seen it, was perfectly fine to me. No issues with that. I want to know from all the photographers out there regarding it's quality and focussing speed.
I'm talking about this lens model.
P.S. : I'm a high school student who has taken up a more-than-amateur interest in photography and is self-taught. I can't afford to buy costly lenses now, so suggest me if the 70-300mm lens is worth the price for a beginner or not.
Answer
If including the telephoto kit lens in the camera kit is the only way you can afford a telephoto lens, then the lens in question is better than any other option you have for owning a telephoto lens.
In general, a two lens 18-55mm plus 70-300mm kit with a camera body is a pretty good deal that allows one to buy the body and two lenses for less than the individual pieces would cost if bought separately. Sometimes, if available, an 18-55mm plus 55-200mm or 55-250mm kit is a better option for an APS-C camera than an 18-55mm plus 70-300mm kit. You'll also usually spend less and get better overall image quality with an 18-55mm plus 55-250mm or 70-300mm combo than with something like an 18-200mm or 18-300mm "all-in-one" lens.
The 70-300mm f/4-5.6 is not a stellar lens that will challenge zoom lenses five times its price, but then neither are any other 70-300/f/4-5.6 lenses in the same class and price range. But it can still get you a lot closer to shots you could get with a more costly lens than no lens at all will.
