[QUOTE="nikonbill, post: 838017, member: 47024"] This is very subjective to the photographer and what "you" wish to see in your images. I cannot comment on the 18-200, however my nice has a D5600 and a Tamron 16-300 (its the DX version) she is very happy and gets some very good images. I am still using my 18-300 DX Nikon lens as I like the "all in one" not worrying about lens changing plan. I am OK with the trade offs. So the trade offs are - it is technically not possible to get as good of an image from a wide range zoom as a more narrower "prime" (high quality faster) lens. However if you can't tell in the details for what you shoot, and how you display your images. It is for these shooters the all in ones are designed. This brings us to - Will it look good to you, only you can determine this. You are doing the correct thing in asking, my recommendation to you is look at the technical details from lens testing.
