I don't have the 18-200 but it is supposed to be a decent lens.
I do have the PZD Tamron 18-270 and that extra reach comes in handy every now and then. Warrantee is supposed to be a bit longer, iirc and it has been a nice walk around lens with half way decent IQ.
The 18-200 might have better IS - but might just be specs and hype too.
Really don't see a compelling reason to pay $150 more for the Nikkor over the Tamron for a zoom lens.
Find a RYF deal on the 7000 or just break open the bank ?
