I have replaced the 17-55mm IS with this lens because of its range and decent sharpness for everyday purposes.
On a 50D:
200mm 1/200 sec f/7.1 200 ISO straight from camera
Below are some 100% crops for those interested:
Note that the 50D applies some default noise reduction for jpgs, and the heat haze may be the limiting factor with respect to image clarity . Here is a shot converted from RAW with no sharpnening but CA removal applied:
