Canon EF-S 18-200mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS review

Pros:
  • Huge 11x focal length range, ideal general purpose and travel lens
  • Excellent image stabilization system, consistently delivering three to four stops benefit
  • Good central sharpness at all focal lengths (but inconsistent corners)
  • Attractive rendition of out-of-focus regions of the image
  • Improved build quality in comparison to the 18-55mm and 55-250mm kit lenses
  • Well-placed zoom lock switch
Cons:
  • Poor sharpness across much of the frame at 18mm and wider apertures
  • Pronounced barrel distortion at wideangle, and pincushion distortion around 50mm
  • High levels of chromatic aberration at either end of the zoom range

Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

This is an excellent all around lens (vacation lens). I bought this as a kit for my EOS 50D. As a kit lens I would say it's one of Canon's best kit lenses and very comparable to the cheaper 55-250 in IQ and performance. The build quality is what beats the 55-250 by a long shot.
Pros:
  • Great walk around lens
  • Very sharp at 200mm
  • good build quality
  • quiet micro motor AF
Cons:
  • Barrel distortion at 18mm
  • CA at 50mm range
  • slow AF in low light at 200mm
