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

I purchased this lense because I trust the quality of Canon products. I especially like the image stabilizing function on it. My camera and this lense are a perfect pair.

Durable; Good Value; High Quality

Expensive

Great lens for the price!!! Brand new lens (not refurbished). Lens normally $$$ elsewhere! Even on sale, it is about $$$!! Thanks overstock!!!

"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.

This was the kit lens I got with my 60D. I loved it at first but after a few months started to be unimpressed with its sharpness. It is not a bad lens just not great. I would have been disappointed if I paid retail price for it.

Great zoom range, multi purpose lens; will do most anything a beginner photographer would want to do

zoom creeps really really bad I have to keep my hand on the zoom ring to stop it from moving while shooting; May be my lens though as it has got a lot looser since I first started using it; If I point it at the ground it falls down to about 170mm; quite soft, can be slow to focus in lower light

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.

Got this lens, because I needed a wider zoom range offered with standard lens, and rather pay for the std lens and buy separate zoom lens, decided to save money and just buy camera body and this lens.

Priced at $780, the Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS is an archetypal vacation lens, offering the convenience of an 11x optical superzoom point-and-shoot digicam with the image quality of a Canon DSLR.

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!

Beautiful, smooth operations; Logical button/switch placement; Trouble-free lens swapping (if you have to--we did only rarely).

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.

I love this lens, it is sharp, fast focus and accurate. The best lens ever if we comparative it with Tamron and Sigma. If you are looking for one lens for all purpose this is it. I am very satisfied with this lens.

Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh; Sharp
