Looks interesting. I'd wait for some reviews though. I'll keep my eye on this along with the Tamron 18-250 that's going to be available in Jan for about $500. If the picture quality on either is as good as the Nikon 18-200 I'm on it!
edit to add link to the Tamron

My sigma 18-125 broke and I called service to see what the deal was on repairing it. They said they offer "trade-ups" for lenses that you don't want to fix, and I said I was interested in this lens.
But they told me that they didn't know when it would be available. (So I haven't sent in my lens yet!)
