I have to agree here saying a $700 lens is just as shrp as a sub $200 lens is not a big selling point for the $700 lens.
It is if that sub $200 lens we are comparing it to is known as being one of the top sharp primes Nikon has and comparisons come off not too shabby for a zoom of incredible versatility and VR to boot. (lol)
Yes, the 18-200 lens can take nice pics under well prepared circumstances, but it does have it's limitations. Sharpness above 150 drops and the lens vignettes as well as it not being as sensitive as I could want in low light situations without a flash. I really like it (I always say it is the ultimate walk-around lens), but I love having the ability to go to a higher quality lens if the situation demands it (Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 HSM and the Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 ED VR).
I have both the 50mm and the 18-200. Each has it's place mounted to my camera on a regular basis.
