Basically the 18-200 will give you the same view on Canon DSLR as the 28-300 on a 35mm film camera.

Another factor to consider with Digital is that the sensor is smaller than the 35mm frame therefore you have the advantage of using the sweet spot of any lens. Purely Digital only lens are made to take advantage of this point and do not cover the full 35mm frame area to keep the price down. i.e the lens lets in a smaller circle of light compared to lens originally designed for 35mm film format.
