I'm looking at buying a general purpose lens for holidays for my 650D and have narrowed my choice down to the following...
Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM
Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM

From the name and specs they appear very similar, apart from the obvious, but can anyone see any other differences?


Cheers
 
I've done the reviews on these - consensus seems to be image quality is lower on the 18-200 than the 18-250. 18-200s seem to go a lot cheaper used. Also consider the Tamron 18-275.
 
Sigma 18-200 Macro is the new 'C' lens which has just been released? The 18-250 Macro seems to be the same spec, but doesn't have the 'C', is cheaper than the 200, but obviously benefits from the extra 50mm.
 
I am currently using the Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM and as a general purpose lens I find it really quiet good even with my limited photography skills. That said once you start to get to full zoom the edge can go a little bit soft in my opinion. I found the sweet spot to around F8.
