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

  • 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

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

  • End section doesn't rotate when focusing
Cons:
  • Noticeable barrel distortion at 18mm
  • Softness and fringing in corners
