Not necessarily. But having said that, any wide angle to telephoto zoom lens worth hauling around is going to be heavier than the average kit lens. My "go to" for many assignments is the 18-200 Nikkor zoom. It's a pretty good all-around piece of glass, but like with any lens, you need to take care not to bash it around!
Jacquie, what I've done over the years is use a 28-200 mm zoom. That allows me to keep the advantages of an SLR without having to change lenses (and, inevitably, get dust in the camera). Of course, I still don't get the extreme wide-angle functionality I'd like to get. In any case, I want to add a qualifier to your "Am I asking too much" question: What if the resulting shots must be good enough to work in print as well as on websites?
Jacquie, if you are going to invest in that big a camera to replace the other, I would just buy the new lens instead! You may find yourself outgrowing the P510 in short order. If anything, I would go for the newer (and better image quality) Nikon D5100!
Jacquie, If it was the "kit"lens that came with the camera, I would suck it up, and remember to get a UV filter to protect the front element next time. If it was a more costly lens like a 55 Micro Nikkor lens, I would consult with Nikon's repair center in NY, 1(800) NIKON-SV, to ask for an estimate on replacement costs.
Just buy the filter next time and leave it on all the time!
Hope this helps!
