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

REVIEW: Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
A popular all-in-one lens covering a massive 11x zoom range that costs around £410 and includes a silent ultrasonic focusing motor and image stabilisation.
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.
All other superzooms I tested are better: Nikkor 18-200 VR, Sigma 18-200 OS, Sony E 18-200 OSS, PanasonicLeica 14-150 OIS
