Versatile Lens suitable for most occasions
18-200 means it covers most situations from portraits and indoor shooting to sports fields. Great for travelling as it fits on-camera in most camera cases. Canon cameras with the 1.5x CCD such as the 500D mean this is really shooting 27 - 300mm. Very versatile.

Brilliant!
A lens this versatile will always have shortcomings but there are few. That stunning 18-200mm zoom range means this lens stays on the camera body almost all the time and if a situation calls for taking minimal gear, this is the lens that has the fun.

Compact, lightweight and a wide magnification range - this standard zoom lens features a wide focal length range from normal to telephoto equivalent to 29-320mm in the 35mm format.. It features an Optical Image Stabilizer for up to 4-stops of effective correction even at full zoom.

Covers a good range from wide to telephoto, focus speed is pretty quick for non-usm and accurate, you can get very sharp photos in good light. You can get by with one lens solution - great for non-pro users.Manual focus ring is tiny and loose, not easy to use.
Pros:
- Fast focus
- good zoom range
- good IS
- high picture quality
Cons:
- No USM
- manual focus not easy
- expensive

Reseobjektiv
I början var jag väldigt nöjd, bilderna är fortfarande helt OK, men ett stort minus för "slappheten" och vad värre är att det inte går att justera över huvud taget...
Pros:
- Relativt lätt
- praktisk "reseobjektiv" med brännvidd 18-200 mm (man slipper transportera en hel uppsättning objektiv)
- relativt bra skärpa även vid mulet väder
- mycket bra i skuggan och så klart priset...
Cons:
- Spärren urholkades efter ca 1 års användning så att objektivet "åker ut" ofrivilligt vid minsta skakning
- Trögheten i zoomen försvann också med tiden så glöm Makro fotografering! Lämnade in den hos Canon för justering men ack nej, objektivet saknade "justeringsskruvar" (3 st.

Great "do it all" lens
This is a great do-it-all lens covering probably the most frequently used focal lengths that the majority of people will use. Its not a substitute for a good prime lens as the compromises of a superzoom mean a trade off in overall sharpness, however this can only be seen in extreme enlagements and...
Pros:
- Easily Interchangeable
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy
