Despite what numerous sources are telling me I'm thinking of switching from the
18-55 IS and 55-250 IS combo to the 18-200 IS. Does that mean I'm lazy? Yeah, probably :)
POTN Poll:
Replace 18-55 IS and 55-250 IS with 18-200 IS (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=671770)

IMAGING QUALITY: The Canon 18-55 IS and 55-250 IS combo deliver BETTER OVERALL
imaging quality, from CENTER TO EDGE, than any of the superzooms.

On its own, it's a decent lens, but users considering replacing a kit 18-55mm IS lens with
this model should consider the 55-250mm IS if they're not adverse to switching lenses,
and have room for it in their bag. Between the two-lens combination there's as much and
more range covered, and the optical performance between the two lenses exceeds that
of the 18-200mm IS.
To be clear:
I ONLY want to TRADE my 18-55 IS and 55-250 IS combo, not buy the 18-200 IS outright.
I am willing to negotiate on the parameters of the trade!
