The focal range of this lenses is perfect for the types of photos that I take from sports to wild life. It is very fast to focus and easy to adjust the zoom on the lense.I feel for the money it is one of my better lense purchases.

Bought this to replace a 75-300 lens that came in the kit. Old lens does not have image stabilization. New lens does and works excellently for my needs. I would recommend to any casual photographer.

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

This is a great lens to replace BOTH a regular 18-55mm and a zoom 75-300mm... If you want to carry just one on your trips, no doubt, its the way to go. Take terrific shots!!

The Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is is a versatile zoom lens and could well be your first kit lens upgrade

Being an EF-S design this zoom is one of only a handful of lenses in Canons range that is suitable for use only on APS-C digital SLRs. Buyers who might be thinking of upgrading to a full-frame body in the future could be tempted to steer away from this lens for that very reason but there is no...

This is a very nice lens I am happy to have found it, the clarity is very good and the image clarity is very good, love this lens very good price here at homeshop.

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.

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.

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.
