The DSLR sensors are almost always smaller than the 35mm film frame, so the image is cropped. The crop factor on Nikons is 1.5, so a 100mm lens is a 150mm equivalent on a 35mm camera.
For $750, the 18-200mm is unbeatable for its versatility considering it's reasonably close to pro image quality. Not a very fast lens, either. But if you got the 17-55m and 70-200mm Nikon pro glass, you'd be spending around $2,700. And switching back and forth.
Andras- consider getting the 50mm f/1.8. For about $100 you won't believe the image quality, and it's fast enough. I suspect once you taste AF, you won't want to fiddle with MF. You'll have so many more keepers and shots you won't miss.
