Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras

It features an Optical Image Stabilizer for up to 4-stops of effective correction even at full zoom.

Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens: Recommended by dpreview.comThe EF-S 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 IS is a lens which many Canon users have been waiting for with great anticipation, as an ideal 'all-in-one' lens for travel and 'walkaround' use. In the flesh it behaves much as we'd expect from such an ambitious design, as an 11x zoom range will always necessitate some fairly major optical compromises. Wideangle performance is distinctly mediocre due to a combination of barrel distortion, chromatic aberration, and softness at wide apertures; and while the lens is respectably sharp at longer focal lengths, this is tempered by pincushion distortion around 50mm and chromatic aberration at 200mm. However Canon has to be given some credit for providing users with free software which can compensate for those lens aberrations in RAW conversion, although it can't of course cure underlying sharpness issues.

SO - - bottom line: If you want a VERY NICE walk-around lens suitable for just about all but the most demanding professional situations, you CANNOT go wrong with this one. Just for grins, I have uploaded a few of the 400 photos taken on the trip mentioned above (see pg 16 Ooops - they've moved up to Pg 13 & 14 - of the customer images) - - One of them is the obligatory 'I've been to Germany and looked at the Castles' photo of the back view of Neuschwanstein {Disneyland Castle} in Schwangau taken from the bridge between the two mountains. So look at the examples - then YOU decide if this lens will float your boat or not. For me, it's a keeper.

The image quality, to me is good. I took some hand held shots of a full moon this morning, against a dark sky, with the kit lens and this one. I used various 18-55mm zoom settings, 1/60 - 1/750 s, at various f #s and ISO settings. No matter how I processed the raw images, this 18-200 was always clearer than the 18-55 kit lens. Although not very scientific, that was the only test I needed to convince me about the image quality. It even out performed my lower priced Canon 75-300mm, f4-5.6, EF lens, no surprise. I think the '-S' made the difference with that test.
Conclusion:
Although a big expense, for me, I am totally happy with this 18-200 lens. My 18-55 kit lens will only now be used when weight is of importance, as in a day long trip to Disney Land. Even in that case, it would be a hard choice not to carry this lens. :)

Cons: Hmm, don't know if this is normal, but 135mm-200mm doesn't seem too drastic of a difference; I've taken shots at both ranges and they seem to be nearly the same :(. Is there a defect with mine? Lens creep does come in when you're zoomed at 24mm and facing the lens toward the ground.
Pros: Great grip; the zoom bar is very wide and has a nice grip! The zoom placement is also very nice; you use your index finger to adjust the zoom! It's also not too heavy either!
Overall: Get this. It's cheaper than an 18-135, and works just as well if not better!!
Update: December 1, 2013. At 18mm you will be at f/3.6. 24mm you'll be at f/4.0. Roughly 40mm you'll be at f/4.5. 50mm f/5.0. 80mm+ f/5.6.
Love the fact that you can lock the lens at 18mm. Good for carrying it around without getting "boner lens."
Sports photography can be a pain sometimes (indoors) when you have to constantly adjust the iso and or shutter speed due to the change in aperture.
I am a purely amateur photographer who mostly takes pictures of my kids, my dog, and our family vacations. I'm using this lens on my Rebel XS and I love it! I was very tired of constantly switching between my standard and zoom lenses, and I'm so happy with this combination lens. It's obviously heavier than the standard lens but it's actually more lightweight than I thought it was going to be. The pictures are crystal clear and the image stabilization is a "must have" on any lens you buy. The focus is a little slower than the standard lens but, again, it's faster than I thought it was going to be.
All in all I couldn't be happier with this lens and I can't wait to take pictures at my kids' sporting events!

Great price on this lens and fast shipping too - saved ~$200 over a local purchase here in Victoria BC
ho acquistato questo obiettivo a Natale...Regalo della mia compagna....
Una Bomba.... Naturalmente lo utilizzo da parecchio e solo oggi l'ho recensito.
Sono pienamente soddisfatto, non sono un professionista e non voglio entrare in merito alle caratteristiche tecniche che sicuramente potrete trovare nei siti dedicati. Le persone che vedono le mie foto mi fanno i complimenti e questo per me è il miglior test che ho potuto avere. Grazie Amzon perche la tempistica di consegna è stata veramente celere e senza intoppi. Il prodotto che è arrivato era come da mie aspettative, lo consiglio a chi vuole un obiettivo duttile.....
Ps..mi pento di aver acquistato la ma Canon D60 in negozio e non su Amazon..avrei risparmiato di brutto....
