www.whatdigitalcamera.com‘s review Edit

The resolution at 18mm is good, with a consistent performance peaking at f/11. At the opposite end of the zoom, results are less pleasing; while still consistent, the overall resolution is average. Where the lens scores well is in its control of chromatic aberration at 200mm, maintaining a low level of fringing across the frame. At 18mm it has good control in the centre but less so in corners. A nice, quiet lens with good chromatic aberration control

slrgear‘s review Edit

At the end of the day, the third-party competitors to the Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR are a fair bit less expensive, but lack Nikon's excellent vibration reduction technology. - This is an important feature, particularly with lenses having smaller maximum apertures that will more often force you to use slower shutter speeds. The Nikon 18-200mm also appears to be somewhat superior optically to its third-party competitors. The Nikon 18-200 also feels better built and more rugged in the hand than either of the other two, although we have no objective way of assessing long-term reliability for the lenses we test. Is the combination of VR and nice build quality worth the roughly $400 differential in street price for the Nikon 18-200VR?

Camera Labs‘s review Edit

The Nikkor AF-S DX VR 18-200mm 3.5-5.6G IF-ED was announced in November 2005 as an all-round 11.1x zoom lens, ideal for a wide variety of situations from landscape to wildlife photography. As a DX-format lens, it's exclusively designed for use with Nikon-mount digital SLRs, which includes the D50, D70s, D200, D2Hs and D2X. It is not compatible with 35mm film cameras.

DP Review‘s review Edit

The Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR DX Nikkor was introduced in November 2005, and rapidly became a much sought-after lens for the Nikon shooter's armoury. With its hugely useful 11.1x focal length range, 'silent wave' focusing, and Nikon's second generation vibration reduction system to combat camera shake, this lens aims to be the ultimate single-lens 'walkaround' solution, which photographers who wish to travel light can simply leave on the camera all the time.
