Definitely an option. A lot of people like the 18-200 (myself included - although the only references I have are point-and-shoots) but it won't make much of a difference except that you won't be changing lenses. If it's out of your budget, don't worry about it. Kit lenses are compromise lenses, but so are superzooms.

Yeah. Not the easiest choice to not regret as its advantages are more subtle (on paper) than extra zoom, but it helps that the other ones have come down in price a lot in the past year, and my Nikkor which was the cheapest is now the most expensive!
Oh, and I got it at Vistek... wish I had gone to The Camera Store instead. Have tried to support them ever since I went to the Digital Photo Expo, which was excellent and which they put on.
