This is what I could find:
The original 18-200mm VR, which was marked in gold on the lens ...AF-S NIKKOR 18-200mm 1:3.5-5.6 G ED. It uses Nikon's second-generation VR system later called VR-II. This lens is sometimes confused with the NEW Nikon 18-200 VR II lens which is the same as the original but features a zoom lock at 18mm., and is marked AF-S NIKKOR 18-200mm 1:3.5-5.6GII ED.
The AF-S feature is not supported by certain camera models.
The G-type lenses are fully compatible with the D100 and newer mode cameras.
The VR-feature will only work with Nikon's F5, F6, F100, N80, N75, N65, D100, D1 & D2-series or newer model cameras.

Try taking your lenses to your nearest BestBuy and give them a try on the Demo Model and see how they do.

Most higher end camcorders will allow good quality photos, however you will need to be in "Photo" mode to utilize the higher megapixels to get the better quality.
Hard drive based camcorder with a SD or SDHC card will give you hours of record time with the photos being stored on the card for easier transfer.
Take a look at this HD Panasonic that take photos:

In general it is better to get a camera with a rechargeable battery that was designed for that particular model. The benefits being more photos during charges and saved cost on buying batteries.
The non-rechargeable batteries are convenient when there is no opportunity to charge a battery, most AAA and AA batteries are available at local stores.
Rechargeable AAA and AA batteries can sometimes not last as long as non-rechargeable and wont take as many pictures.
