    I have the 18-200 on a D40; it's all the lens I ever need. The lens makes it a little heavy, but the results are worth it.

    There's a very big difference between a 4x zoom like you listed and a 10X zoom like was being discussed. At a given price, the bigger the zoom ratio of a lens, the less good it will be.

    In reality, going beyond about 200mm at decent optical quality requires special glass to be used (low-dispersion, fluorite, etc). These glasses are very expensive.
