Is the EF-S 18-200mm compatible with the Rebel T3?
Yes, fully compatible.
I own a Canon 1100D and enjoy taking photos at horseshows. I use the 55-220 lense. If I crop the photos to bring the image closer, I lose the resolution for printing. Is there a better lense I can use for shooting that retain the higher resolution?
Canon EF 70-300mm IS lens, you get a range of 112-480mm due to 1.6x crop factor, the AF is fast, IS works well and Image quality is also very good.

Hello,
which lens should I use for the zoom (something like 10 – 100x) in particular when I want to zoom something from far from my location.
Regards
For zoom you can look for Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS OR Canon 70-300mm IS for zoom purpose.
Dear Admin,
Would really appreciate if you can attend the queries raised by me in my earlier post dated 30-Apr-2013. Actually, I’m going to buy the lens on coming weekend and a your advice would be of great help.
Also, I’ve checked Tamron’s 18-270 mm lens which is costing around Rs.28K. In terms of reach and price, it is far better than Canon’s 18-135 STM. Although, not very sure of the image quality.Any suggestions?
Thanks
Sumit
