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

To sum up, the Canon 18-200mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 IS offers slightly better performance than we're accustomed to seeing with vacation lenses, with image stabilization thrown into a very portable form factor.

Canon EF-S 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 IS

The Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS was announced in August 2008 alongside the EOS 50D DSLR. One of the most-requested Canon lenses in recent times, it equips EF-S compatible bodies with a long 11.1x super-zoom range that's equivalent to 29-320mm.
Pros:
  • Enormously flexible 11.1x optical range
  • Effective Image Stabilisation
  • Lock control to prevent barrel from extending
  • End section doesn't rotate when focusing
Cons:
  • Noticeable barrel distortion at 18mm
  • Softness and fringing in corners
  • No USM focusing or full-time MF
  • Some creep on the barrel

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

A 29-320mm equivalent on APS-C Canon EOS models, this lens ($700, street) boasts the broadest zoom range of any interchangeable optic from Canon to date: 11X. A high-end kit option for EOS 50D owners, it probably owes its existence to the phenomenal success of Nikon's 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR Nikkor.
