My Nikon 18-200 doesn't do everything perfectly well and it does have barrel distortion at the long end (this is very easily fixable in 2-3 clicks in most PP applications). I am confused about the vignetting, becuase I have never ever seen any with my shots but I would be willing to try some test shots to specifically see if I can reproduce any (maybe try shooting into a blue sky at 18mm).
My version does suffer from lens creep if it is at anything more than 100mm but under that I can leave the lens pointing down for minutes on end without any change in focal point, however I do not climb many sail ship masts to take pictures one handed at 18mm so I find it a non-issue for me anyways.
Picture quality is not as good as my Sigma 18-50 F/2.8, but it is the perfect walk-around lens and quality levels are acceptably good.
