Having used the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens for about two years now, this is the perfect focal length range for use as a day-to-day walkabout lens on my Canon 40D. Other Canon gear that I have include their excellent EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS , their razor-sharp EF 70-200mm f/4L IS , EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DO IS , the L-grade-sharpness EF 100mm f/2.8 macro , MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro , and MR-14EX macro ring lite.
In low light or wider-angle scenery shots, this lens is not as sharp as my 17-55mm f/2.8. When used to photograph macro-like shots of butterflies and flowers, it is not as sharp as my 100mm f/2.8. When used at its 200mm lens to focus onto distant birds and turtles sitting on a stone in a pond, it is not as sharp as my 70-200mm f/4L. But as a one-lens solution for covering that kind of focal lengths, it is pretty good. On sunny days, I use this lens on a 40D with a B&W multi-coated MRC Kaesemann Circular Polarizer. I consider this to be a very useful hiking/travel/walkabout lens. This is my first experience with a Canon lens that does not use USM, and the micro-motor is slightly slower and noisier than USM... but not knowing what to expect, I was expecting even slower focusing and, in most situations, I found its focus speed totally adequate - still very quick and without any back-and-forth hunting in lower lighting. But my main gripe about this lens is that Canon did not use USM (who knows what kind of marketing decisions went into this, much as I wondered why the 40D had a 3.0-inch LCD but kept the same 230,000 pixels as the 2.5-inch LCD on the 30D - one of my main gripes with the 40D). For the price, Canon should have included USM with full-time manual focusing. But I did notice that the price has dropped by more than 60 dollars since I bought the lens less than three weeks ago.
The use of a zoom lock switch to prevent lens creep is a very welcome addition that I always wished that their 17-85mm lens also had. The lens does not rotate during focusing, so circular polarizer filters stay in place.
Unlike Canon's USM lenses, the micro-motor focus design of this lens does not allow you to override the autofocus mechanism until you first flip the AF/MF switch on the lens. Furthermore, while the 17-85mm lens lets you use both the focus ring and zoom ring when the lens hood is inverted on the lens, on the 18-200mm lens, since the focus ring is now placed at the very front of the lens (and in front of the much-wider zoom ring), when its Canon EW78D Lens Hood (not included with the lens) is inverted, the lens hood's "petals" block most of the zoom ring and I have to use my middle finger and thumb to reach in between the hood petals to rotate the focus ring when the hood is screwed on in its inverted position. I would have much preferred that Canon retain the same focus-ring-closer-to-camera-body design that they used on the 17-85mm. But since I mainly use manual focus on my two 65mm and 100mm macro lenses, this is not that big of a deal for me.
At both 18mm and 200mm wide open, the image corners can be a little on the soft side, but when stopped down between f/5.6 and f/11, the image is sharp from edge to edge. But even Canon's 28-300mm L glass, which is also f/3.5-5.6, has its share of design compromises and sharpness issues in a superzoom lens design. So I think that any lens encompassing this sort of zoom range will be tripping over the physical limitations of what can be achieved when compared with a lens with a smaller zoom range. A 18-200mm lens at a fixed f/2.8 with USM and L-grade glass and weather sealing in a lens that weighs less than 3 pounds would be wonderful, and I would gladly pay a lot more for it as single-lens travel/walkabout lens solution, but that product still only exists in my dreams right now.
This 18-200mm lens will now make my 17-85mm lens the least-used lens that I have, so I may eventually end up selling the 17-85mm lens.

It is a reasonable value. I am not impressed with its focusing ability as compared to the 28-135 EF IS USM lens that came as the kit with my 40D. The price is about the same or slightly more if buying either seperately. The 28-135 seems to work better, but does not offer the zoom range that is useful for me traveling and wanting to minimize things I carry. So, I still use this lens instead and live with the slower or worse AF performance. If just a good general lens with a wide range of uses is what you want, this is an acceptable lens. You wont be excited or disappointed.

This is the best all-rounder lens I've ever used, particularly at Zoos. You are always with the correct lens (instead of changing lenses all day long, you can actually take pictures instead), and it has very good image all along the zoom extension. Focuses VERY, VERY fast: actually faster than all my AF-S Nikkors (even the four digit priced ones). Has reasonable size and weight, and is fairly priced. The 3.5-5.6 diaphragm might be a little dark, but is more than adequate pricewise. More economical and focuses MUCH faster than the Nikon version.

Comments about Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Autofocus Lens for Select Digital SLR Cameras:
This lens is great for its price. Sure, its characteristics are not equivalent to a $2,500 lens, but for a fifth of the price, it does great.
The resolution is quite amazing: in focus areas are sharp and have a good definition, and the transition to out-of-focus is nice and smooth. Of course, this will also depend on your camera.
Being a 18-200mm, the image distortion is quite marked at 18mm. I quite expected that and no surprise.
The biggest surprise was the quality of the Image Stabilizer. I took a picture at 100mm around 1/20th of a second and it was sharp! Thumbs up for that.
The only negative aspect I can think of is the perceived robustness: the lens appears quite fragile.

Comments about Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Autofocus Lens for Select Digital SLR Cameras:
An excellent lens. It instantly became my all-purpose lens, replacing three others that I'd gotten used to lugging around with me. The autofocus is fast and precise, the image stabilization appears to work as advertised, and it produces images that are extremely sharp. I was most impressed with its close focusing capability. It's not a true macro lens but it gets you pretty darn close to most objects.

Of course there are better lenses, but not in the walkabout category. Buy one, mount it on your camera & shoot a few hundred pictures as you go here & there throughout the day, & you'll see why my assertion is true.
I've owned 18-200mm lenses before, made by Tamron & Sigma. This Canon version is a little sharper, & better for subjects in fast motion, such as dancers.
As a walkabout lens, it has no cons.

It is great to be able to have just one lens for most applications. I really like how solid and well-made this lens is. Also like being able to turn image stabilization off easily when I need to.
