Nikon D5200 - which travel zoom?

[The Pielander]

I've recently purchased a Nikon D5200 and 18-55 kit lens. I've been looking at getting a 'travel zoom' for everyday use and the Nikon 18-200mm DX lens has caught my attention. Is this a good match for the D5200 or are there any better alternatives in the same zoom range?

Cheers!

The genuine 18-200 is a great lens in my opinion. I recently sold mine and really wish I hadn't, I miss it terribly. The zoom range it has means you pretty much just need the one lens to do it all which saves space and weight.
