The 100% had a fair bit of sharpening applied in PS (I\'m sure many others can do better. Here\'s 0 sharpening from camera in colour, no noise reduction or CA adjustment:
100% on a 50D is quite harsh and here the lens is obviously not up to it - but so are many lenses. This example is equivalent to blowing up the original image 4.5 times or so.
As reported elsewhere the 18-200mm IS at 200mm setting is more like 175mm - there is very little increase in apparent focal length when you zoom from 170mm to 200mm.
