Andy Westlake takes a detailed look at a budget all-in-one superzoom for APS-C DSLRs

While there's certainly an element of truth to this, it overlooks one fundamental advantage – that you can cover a huge range of subjects without having to change lenses between shots. If you're out on your own, taking your time, this is no big deal.

If there's one kind of lens that tends to get a bad press, it's the all-in-one ‘superzoom'. Conventional wisdom states that zooms with a 3x range can be optically excellent, and 4x can still be very good, but extend that to 10x or more and the compromises become too great.

I did not own this lens but one of my family member did foor less than a year. Indeed, even if the quality was not wonderful, even taking really great care of the gear did not prevent it from the lenses inside to move (it never fell or whatever) and gave a total ly blurry image.

- No durability - Not so good for its price

Its a good lens for what it cost, 18-200mm decent price range, i got it for replace kit lens, and honestly i need the IS function, its a good lens, but i need to work on my pulse. Be aware of this before buy it, if your not too good with your pulse and manual focus, with this lens you will learn.
