Totally agree
I brought the Nikon D3000 kit that was suppose to come with the 18-55mm,

but as Steve has said most of my pictures are of motorsport so i swapped the 18-55mm for a 55-200mm lense and payed the difference. Then found out i really needed the 18-55mm for closer objects so ended up having to buy that aswell.
The 55-200mm is not quite enough zoom for what i want, so will be looking to purchase a 300mm in the near future.
I used to use the Fujifilm finepix S1800

that was 18x optical zoom and seems to be about the same zoom as the 55-200mm lense i use on the Nikon.
