i see it at 55mm lagging in the borders quite badly for a 55mm, and at 200mm it reaches "excellent" only just in the center, and just misses it at the borders.
Nothing exceptional, really.
Compare it to its peer, and it is pretty comparable (Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS on 8mp APS-C), just a slight lead for the Nikon with smaller focal range.
The EF 70-200mm f4 L IS USM (on 8mp APS-C) shows what kind of results "a fantastic lens" produces:

The Nikon 55-200mm VR is a nice basic tele zoom like most others in its class on APS-C, I do not know how the 55-300mm compares though.
