Re: CANON 18-200MM

I have the tamron 18-200 as it was dead cheap but still fairly well made. Like all the big zooms it makes a lot of compromises on optical quality and is very soft on the edges wide open and all the rest. But it's a great one lens solution for those times when you just want to go have some fun and take the camera along. the range will cover whatever you want on the day and I've taken some great shots with it. The Canon is likely substantially better than the tamron, but I have never compared them. Something like a 15-85 or an 18-135 STM might also work for you.
