I find Sigma to have good value lenses. I have a 17-35mm and love it. I just ordered the new 150-500mm with OS. I was looking at the Nikon 70-300 VR at half the price, but when I saw this was coming out I decided to go for the extra reach and extra $$$. I should get it this week. I'll be sure to snap a few off and post them for everyones review.
...but I digress, the 18-200mm with VR, IS, or OS is a very popular lens. Wide angle to telephoto zoom. It's a great travel lens, but like everyone pointed out, distortion is a problem.
Ken Rockwell's reviews are really well done. He's a Nikonian like me, so you're not going to get too much crossing over into Canon lenses except for a few third party makes from Sigma and Tamron.
