Replacing 18-55mm/55-200mm with 18-200mm

Second body and longer primes could run into more money than the OP is looking to spend.

It would be used mostly for general photos or travel. Otherwise, I would put on one of my primes. The reason I'm considering this is because we just got back from a trip that I found myself continually needing to swap between by 18-55 and 55-200.

Better option: Buy a second body and keep both lenses mounted!

Gets heavy and ridiculous.
Better option, buy a nice super zoom like the Lumix FZ1000
