Great overall lens
Pros: Great overall lens, allows me to take only one lens. Pictures look great. Cons: Only annoyance is that the lens 'trails out' when hanging by the neck strap. Seems like that could have been engineered out.

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

A Great "Do-It-All Lense"
Its been almost 1 year since I have been using this lense. Its been an amazing experience. If you are just a hobbyist photographer and don't get paid for clicking and neither you are a millionaire who can spend on 3-4 prime lenses for different focal lenghts, then this is the ONE lense for you (If...

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.

Great Lens, Good Price
It is great not having to switch between lenses for everyday shots, both close-up and at a distance. I highly recommend this lens.

This lens is cheap. Both in price and construction. With that in mind, it is a good product. Pictures are sharp, as the glass is of the typically great quality. The vr works adequately.

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.

Convenient Telephoto Power
Perfect lens for us! We needed a telephoto lens that was simple to use and also took great shots at the closer range, since we hate switching lenses. The bonus feature is auto-stabilization--absolutely saved many shots that we could not have captured otherwise, lacking a tripod. We love this lens!
Pros:
- Beautiful, smooth operations
- Logical button/switch placement
- Trouble-free lens swapping (if you have to--we did only rarely).
Cons:
- At the closest range, it is not a super-wide angle lens
- Just normal, same as the stock lens that came with my Rebel T1 kit.

An excellant allrounder/travel lens
I bought one of these EF-S 18-200 with a 500D as a kit 2 years ago and carted it all round Southern, Central and Northern Australia, China and it has served me well as an all rounder.

Love this lens
Love this lens I used it for 1 year now and it still works like new. The zoom lock feature and the placement of the switch is a very well thought out design feature. cons: it is a little on the heavy side. But balances well with any body.
