I'd obviously try it out, etc, but does anyone have any suggestions for a wide to decent telephoto lens? Preferably under $200. I noticed the Tamron 18-200, which is right around 200, but it doesn't have image stabilization and pretty slow AF.

It would be good if you could get the XS though for two reasons: one, it's newer, and two, it's a lot more comfortable to hold.
And remember, megapixels doesn't mean everything... in fact if there were two versions of the XS I was trying to decide between between, one with 10.1MP (Like the XS has) and one with 20MP I'd buy the 10.1MP one... and not because of price. The XS (and the XTi for that matter) has a small body, and cramming a lot of megapixels in a body will give it a lot of noise. I can understand how you wouldn't want 6MP though.
You could also check out the Sony Alpha series... I can't recommend them as I've never used them, but I've heard good things about them. Just remember that with a Sony body you'll have to use Sony lenses.
