A good reason why it is so popular, The awesome travel lens.Ironically, I have the 18-200, but when I added my D7000, I personally went back to the cheapo 18-55 VR, and a 55-300VR as my light weight package. Here is the reason, the newest 18-55 is a gem for sharpness, yes, low cost, but don't throw stones at this lens, it will capture images sharply with little distortion. Best, it is so light weight that a joy versus the 18-200. I keep the 55-300 on a belt pouch, and when I need the reach, this lens holds up to the sharpness of the 18-200, but has that extra reach that I so do like. As such, my 18-200 collects dust (no I will not sell it - still handy for when I only want one lens). In the end, no such thing as a perfect lens, which is why my shelf gets cluttered with them.</blockquote>
