About the Sony SEL 18200
This compact 18-200mm lens lets you record bright, crisp still shots or vivid HD video with Sony NEX-series cameras and camcorders. Its versatile 11X zoom range lets you make the most of virtually any shooting situation. You can zoom in close to your subjects that's especially helpful when you plan on capturing sports or dance recitals from way back in the stands. And use its wide-angle capabilities to take panoramic photos of the countryside or fit a large group of people into a single frame. This is one lens you can definitely leave on your cam all day for shooting whatever comes up.
Built-in technology minimizes blurry photos
Sony's Optical Steady Shot image stabilization helps ensure your photos and videos will come out crisp in all different sorts of lighting conditions. Built-in motion sensors steer a special set of optical elements inside the lens, neatly compensating for camera movement and stabilizing the image. You get much sharper pictures even in low-light conditions where slower shutter speeds and hand motion can easily cause blurred images with a regular lens.
