Jump the shark it has, but it's just so much fun... On an iPhone.
For my money though, I might get a Canon body and that new 17mmT/S lens if you are hot and heavy for that look.

This is the kind of discussion that I particularly enjoy. Talking nuts'n'bolts is fine, but talking about imagery is more finer.

the 18-200 was my default walkabout lens for a couple of years, but was sold when I moved to full-frame. I think others have summed it up well, its a cracking lens for the ££ - the new VRII version is supposed to be even better.
Nowadays, its the 24-70 f/2.8 and the 70-200 f/2.8 all the way - awesome glass but they certainly dont qualify as lightweight and they're in a differnet price league to the 18-200!
Admittedly, I am not very good with technical camera use. I am looking for a Macro? lens for my wife. She needs to take very close pictures of artwork she makes. Finances are somewhat tight . Is there a descent Macro ,in the 200-300 dollar range? Her Camera is a Canon XSI
thanks

The Tamron 90mm 2.8 macro is one of the sharpest lenses made, by any manufacturer, you can check the resolution figures for yourself here. Keep in mind that was from an 8mp camera as well, so those numbers are outstanding. There is a used one that will work with your camera for sale right now on KEH. These lenses don't last long on the used market so I'd move fast if you're interested.
Hi Scott. I see that you and Sexy6chick are using Olympus. I have been seriously thinking of moving to either Olympus or Pentax. Would you mind posting which model of Olympus you are using. My thoughts towards Pentax was for weather sealing plus all the available lens and Olympus for too many reasons to list. Thanks, George
Not "good" images in an artistic sense, but certainly sharp!
