It automatically detects movement of the camera and compensates for camera shake when shooting moving subject such as motor sports. Two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements and three aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. The super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghost. This lens provides superior image quality throughout the entire zoom range. An inner focusing system eliminates front lens rotation, making the lens particularly suitable for using circular polarizing filters and the petal-type lens hood supplied
Amazon.com Product Description
The Sigma 18-200mm high-zoom-ratio lens is designed exclusively for Canon digital SLR cameras and is capable of covering a wide range of focal lengths, from wide-angle to telephoto. Two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and two hybrid aspherical lenses correct for all types of aberrations, letting Sigma house the extended-range super-zoom lens in a compact and lightweight body that measures 70mm in diameter and 78.1mm long and weighs a mere 14.3 ounces. The new lens coating, meanwhile, reduces flare and ghost--a common problem shared by many digital cameras--while also creating an optimum color balance. Other details include a minimum focusing distance of 45cm (17.7) at all focal lengths, a high zoom ratio of 11:1, and a maximum magnification of 1:4.4.
The lens design incorporates an inner focusing system that prevents the front of the lens from rotating, making it particularly suitable for using circular polarizing filters and petal-shaped lens hoods. In addition, the overall length of the lens never changes during focusing, making the lens convenient to handle and easy to use. Finally, the lens's zoom lock switch eliminates "zoom creep" during transport--a convenient addition when traveling. The lens, which includes a metal mount, is backed by a one-year warranty.

Excellent "walking around" lens.......2007-12-13
I have been using this lens almost exclusively during the past month on my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi. The focus is slightly noisier than the Cannon lenses and perhaps a bit slower, especially indoors in dark light. However, picture quality is excellent, OS works great, and having the 18-200 range is fantastic for taking a single lens on short trips. This is a great lens for the money.
Excellent.......2007-12-04
this lens is very good. I had this lens for a week and i'm satisfied. But little noisy when the OS and AF were on. For this price is worth it.
Sigma 18-200 OS lens w/Canon Mount.......2007-12-03
Had this lens for about 6 weeks and it has performed beautifuly. Photographed a wedding, a family portrait and two family event with the lens (well over 1,500 images) and have not taken it off my 40D since it arrived. Not used it under extreme dim-light conditions yet so don't know about the low light focusing. Ready to sell the two lens this lens replaces.

The lens works very well creating sharp images in challenging situations. The fact that it starts at 18mm as opposed to 28mm as many the OS zooms do and extends to 200mm give me the flexibility to truly have a "one lens solution."
Sigma Zoom Lens for Canon SLR AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS (Optical Stabilizer) .......2007-11-21
This is a great lens! It blows away the standard lense that comes with your Canon SLR. The zoom allows you to get those close up shots without a tripod because of the stablilier. The lense is heavier than the standard 55mm lens but is great to have and it is lighter than the Nikon 18-200mm Lense with OS. Anyone who loves to take pictures I would say must get this lense it will make a huge difference in your photos. Well worth the money.

Great all around lense.......2007-05-28
I bought this lense a year ago to go with my Nikon D50. I have been very happy with this lense. I researched quite a bit before I purchased this lense and had read many user reviews both good and bad. The negative reviews were mainly from Canon users related to an autofocus problem. I have not had any focus issues at all on my D50. Focus is fast and accurate providing incredibly sharp photos. I have my D50 set to focus on the center of the frame which is the way I typically use a camera.
There is some audible auto focus noise since the Nikon version of this lense does not have an internal focus motor. The lense relies on the auto focus screw driven by an internal motor in the D50 body (or any Nikon DSLR body except the D40 which doesn't have one). The noise heard is not the lense but the stepper motor in the D50 body. The identical noise is heard when I use my Nikon 50mm f1.8 lense which also relies on the autofocus screw/motor in the D50 body. Other Nikon AFS lenses are super quiet since Nikon includes a very quiet Silent Wave focus motor inside the lense which disables the DSLR body stepper motor.
[...]
[...]
You will notice the barrel distortion at the 18mm setting with photos of linear objects (eg. buildings or anything with straight lines). Keep in mind that even the Nikon 18-200mm lense at more than twice the price also exhibits the same percentage of barrel distortion as the Sigma. When covering this wide of a zoom range a compromise is made by the design engineers.
Another complaint I've read about, and is also an issue with the Nikon and Tamron, is that some people claim the 200mm zoom setting isn't true 200mm. Well this is correct when you're focusing on an object that the camera has not focused to infinity. In other words the closer the subject the less magnification is achieved. This is normal for any lense covering this zoom range. As an example I performed a test and focused on an object bout 50 feet away at full telephoto and achieved about a 9x magnification over the wide angle setting. When I performed the same test on an object that was a couple of hundred feet away I did achieve the full 11x magnification range. [...]
The bottom line: This is a great lense for the money. Certainly the Nikon 18-200 VR is a better lense but costs more than twice as much [...]. If you're a Nikon DSLR owner (except the D40 which does not include a focus motor and screw) and if you don't want to spend [...] on the Nikon 18-200mm VR than this is your lense. It is compact and light and has a great quality look and feel. It provides super sharp photos and I'm very happy with it. [...] Also with such a zoom range you'll almost never take this lense off your Nikon which also will minimize dust getting into the camera body.
My only other suggestion is to wait for the Sigma 18-200mm OS version of this lense which is not yet available. It will include an optical stabilization feature not included in the base Sigma 18-200mm [...] and most likely there will be a waiting line once it's released sometime in 2007. Assuming the OS version has equivalent optics the OS feature will be an added bonus making it similar in performance to the VR feature of the Nikon 18-200mm.
Excelent!!!.......2007-04-03
i have a 18-55 and a 80-200 2.8 nikon lens and this one combines them both, great lens, fast auto-focus, the lock button great. nice colors and great specs.
Great Lense.......2007-02-06
I did quite a bit of research before finally settling on this lense and I think I made a great choice. I was previously using my old 35-80 and 100-300 lenses from my film camera, but this lens allows me to have a much wider angle than I was used to and almost the same telephoto all without having to change lenses.
This lense is not as quite as a comperable new nikon lense, but it also much less expensive, and is much more quite than my old nikon lense. I have not noticed any prolems with the colors or image quality. As an average camera user I am extremely happy with my choice.
A good piece overall...........2005-10-22
I purchased a Nikon D70S in August and decided on the Sigma 18-200mm lens instead of the 18-35mm Nikkor kit lens. It really boils down to how one uses this lens as to whether you like it or not. With the 1.5 conversion factor of the D70S, this lens operates as a 27-300mm. I do an ocassional wedding and senior photos throughout the year but I shoot more landscape/nature photography than anything. Unless a person requires a super fast lens, this piece does a very good job overall for the price. Since the majority of my work is off a tripod, the 3.5 max aperture has not been a problem even in very low light situations. Since it's the only Nikon based lens I own, its like having several lenses in one and I never have to worry about dust getting on the sensor during lens changes.
The 27mm is not as wide as I would have liked, but I have had no problems in making due with it especially doing group shots at weddings and has been quite sufficient for most landscapes.
The autofocus is quite fast when needed and it does quite well for my use as a portrait lens. Its 300mm capability really lets you bring in distant objects.
Color accuracy is quite good on both people and landscapes, and works acceptable with neutral density and circular polarizing filters.
My biggest complaint with this lens however, is a bit too much barrel distortion when shooting linear subjects and lens flare when shooting into the sun at sunrise or sunset. The flare problem may be as much the fault of the digital sensor as it is the lens, but I have been told by more than one pro that it's more the lens than the sensor. Therefore, that's why I gave it only 4 stars instead of 5. I have used Sigma lenses on my film cameras for many years and not had this kind of flare problem. However, this lens is built especially for the smaller digital sensors, which may result in magnifying this problem. Both of these faults can be corrected with imaging software most of the time. It just takes time to have to mess with it.
Keep in mind, this is a general purpose lens, and will do a more than acceptable job for all but the most discriminating work. It is light and compact and has a quality about it which looks good on the camera. Overall I have enjoyed the lens, and can recommend it as a good piece overall for the money.

This Lens Rocks!.......2007-11-22
I've been using this lens with my Canon 20D for 3-4 months now, and I think I've taken it off only once or twice in that time. I love it. Its focal length range makes it incredibly versatile, and it's tack sharp through most of the range. Not as much distortion as I would expect at the 18mm end, and (as long as I keep a fast enough shutter speed and/or stabilize the camera) very crisp at the 200mm end. Best of all, when you're zoomed all the way out, you can actually get pretty close to a subject (within a foot or so) and still get a focus. Most longish lenses won't let you get anywhere near that close.
Another bonus with this lens: the seal with the camera is much tighter than with any of my Canon lenses -- so way less sensor dust!
It's my all-time favorite lens.:)
Very good walk-around lens.......2007-10-20
I've had this lens for about 9 months and have shot thousands of photos with it. It's really a great lens for a frequent traveler like me. I keep it on the camera and toss it in my computer bag and go. The very wide zoom range is ideal for everything from group shots to shooting sports from the stands. For this capability and price, it does have some drawbacks, of course. It's rather slow, and therefore not well suited to shooting intimate gatherings at night or dimly-lit museum exhibits; you'll have to crank up the ISO to 1600 to get decent shots. And its images are noticeably soft in the middle range. (Get a $75 Canon 50mm f1.8 "plastic fantastic" and compare.) I'm preparing to give this lens to my niece and upgrade to either the OS version (optical stabilization) or maybe the Canon 17-55mm f2.8 IS (image stabilization) and a long lens, which would be much more expensive and less convenient. This Sigma is hard to beat.

Great all around lense.......2007-07-29
Let me start by saying I am not a professional photographer. I take pictures of family at various events. Having just one lense with such a wide range is perfect for me. I found myself switching between my 18-55 and my 75-300 2 to 3 times an event and it did not make sense. I am very happy with the range and quality of this lense.
Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC lens for Canon Digital SLR.......2007-07-29
Photography is a new hobby for me. Because I have very little experience with the camera, I have had to rely on what others tell me and what I read. I chose this lens because I felt the wide range would suite my needs best as a beginner. I am so happy that I did. It is very easy to use and takes great pictures. I used it on the family beach vacation for my first big practice session and the results are beautiful. When I am ready for another lens I am sure to by another Sigma. Very Pleased.

Product Description
Exclusively designed to suit the characteristics of digital SLR cameras. The image circle was designed to match the size of the image sensors of most digitalSLR cameras and this has resulted in a compact lightweight lens. The use of aspherical lenses provides correction for various aberrations and makes high quality images a reality throughout the entire zoom range. Compact-Lightweight zoom lens has a maximum diameter of 62mm (2.4in.), overall length of 67.5mm (2.6in.) and weight of only 250gr (8.7 ounces) and filter size of 58mm. Compact dimensions offers superb handling and mobility. The use of aspherical lenses provides correction for various aberrations throughout the entire zoom range and produce high level of optical performance. We took digital characteristics into consideration when designing the lens powerlayout and created the most suitable lens that makes high quality images a reality throughout the entire zoom range. We used the most appropriate coating for digital products to cut down flare and ghost caused by digital SLR cameras and to produce the best color balance. It can be used with the supplied lens hood to block out extraneous light. 18-50mm F3.5-5.6 DC zoom lens has a minimum focusing distance of 25cm (9.8in.) at all focal lengths and is capable of macro photography with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.5. The focus ring provides easy operation in manual mode. A distance scale on the focus ring is an easy to use and convenient.

AF Broke within 6 months.......2007-05-08
Ok lense while it lasted but AF was sketchy for a few weeks before it wouldn't work at all.
You get what you pay for.......2006-06-14
I have used a number of Sigma lenses throughout the years and I have been quite satisfied. I have a 28 - 300mm lens that I used with my 35mm Canon A2e. A few years ago when I made the switch to digital, I called Sigma and for around $75, they converted the lens to work with my new digital equipment. I have 3 Sigma lenses that I use now. I have had the 18-50mm less than a year and it takes great photos, HOWEVER, when you twist the lens hood off and on the lens, it turns the focusing gear. Mine has stripped out and you can hear gears grinding as the camera tries to focus. Somehow it does still manage to focus but it is slower and quite noisy. I know it is only a matter of time before it stops working altogether. I have replaced this lens with another Sigma, but I chose a higher end model with internal focusing. The 18-50mm would be a great lens at a great price for the occasional user if much care is taken with the hood.
Entirely satisfied.......2006-04-07
Inexpensive entry-level short zoom. Good value for the money, especially if you don't have anything to cover this focal range. Build quality seems a half-notch above the standard Rebel XT kit lens.

This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 45cm (17.7") at all focal lengths and has maximum magnification of 1:4.4. The lens design incorporates an inner focusing system, which prevents the front of the lens from rotating, making it particularly suitable for using circular polarizing filters and petal shaped lens hoods. The overall length of the lens does not change during focusing, ensuring convenient handling and ease of use. Azoom lock switch eliminates 'zoom creep' during transportation, a convenient addition when traveling.

Great Lens.......2005-10-03
Just got this amazing lens last week and already took over 500 shots. Clarity is excellent and the tones superb with an SD10 Body. The size is also perfect, rather small for such a godo range Zoom. Focusing is fast and easy and locks on the subjet almost instantly. Certainly one of the best for SD10. An excellent choice for travelers.
