High quality optics
The EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS features a 16 element, 12 group construction. This
includes UD and aspherical lens elements, which minimise chromatic aberration
and ensure crisp, corner-to-corner detail across the zoom range. A close focusing
distance of just 45cm offers photographers total framing flexibility.
4-stop Image Stabilizer
A Canon 4-stop optical Image Stabilizer specially designed for the lens
specific focal length range - works to counteract image blur that can occur when
shooting handheld, or at slow shutter speeds. Automatic panning detection ensures
effective performance when tracking moving subjects. Plus, because the IS system
is based in the lens, results are visible through the viewfinder during framing.
No flare or ghosting
Reflection off a digital camera's image sensor can cause flare and ghosting. To
suppress this, the EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS uses optics treated with Canons
patented Super Spectra coatings for crisp, undistorted images with natural colour
balance.
