Bought a used NX200 with 18-55 OIS lens. Wide angle shots look great, but zoomed shots look awful. I wonder if the OIS isn't working properly, but shooting at 200th of a second still not good. Can't get a decent shot. Photos look like those from a cheap compact. Have other users experienced similar problems?

I think it has to be a problem with the lens. It may be decentered at the long end or damaged internally. I doubt the OIS could be responsible but you could check that by taking test shots with ois turned off. 1/200th should be plenty fast enough to eliminate camera shake. I have version 1 of the 18-55mm and it doesn't seem too bad. See my reply to link gaetz for a sample.
