A really good all-around lens. If I had to take only one lens on vacation, this would be it. The combination of wide angle and zoom make it very versatile. Some reviewers have complained of lens creep - the model I received had a manual lock that prevented creep, but you have to unlock it every time...
Pros:
- The IS function works good as long as you're not over-caffeinated, I imagine a system built into the camera body works better though
- Decent focusing speed and low-light performance
- Great zoom and wide angle.
Cons:
- Heavy
- Obvious vignetting
- Obvious spherical aberration, Power consumption is high with the IS switched on, and ***the IS does not seem to shut off when you turn the camera off!*** I have to shut off the IS independently
- of the camera power.

Convenience costs....
No lens in this catagory is perfect, you have to accept each lens shortcomings...this lens works best with the canon auto focus system hands down, tamron and others take forever to focus and often frustrate. While not perfect...clearly works better than others.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
Cons:
- Heavy
- Lens Creep

- Image Stabilization
- good range of length so know need to change lenses
Cons:
- Weight
- movement in the lens because of weight
- price

Decent All Rounder and Travel Lens
"Covering 18mm to 200mm provides a huge amount of versatility with this lens. If you need to travel light and can only bring one lens, this might be perfect for you because it was for me.

Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens
18-200mm Canon lens, it's what you expect from the biggest company. I was very surprised when I got it out of the box, it is a lot heavier than expected, which brings along the problem when you have the lens about halfway and look down or up than it opens or closes under it's own weight which is a...

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.
