I don't know the cannon world very well, but those guys talking about Nikons 18-200 is truly one of the best lenses there is

What's the best camera? The one you have on you when you need to get a picture. There's a lot of sneering about "vacation lenses" like the 18-200, but the tiny drop in image quality is well worth just having the right lens on the body when you see something neat.

Sometimes the best hack is the simplest.
