Digital camera reviews of Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens
Digital camera Review: "To "IS" or not to "IS"
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought a Canon Rebel XTi and it comes with an 18-55mm lens. I ordered the 18-55mm IS at the same time. The non-IS lens is still in the box. I also own an older 75-300mm USM IS lens and after seeing what "Image Stabilization" can do, I am sold. IS has saved me a lot of film because I no longer had to toss out blurred images taken with a long lens. Now that I shoot digital I save time deleting blurred images. The IS lens looks almost identical to it's non-IS sibling but the end results are that IS makes this a better lens.
Summary of Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens
Equipped with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm standard zoom lens is ideal for just about any application. IS technology compensates for camera shake by providing the equivalent effect of a shutter speed up to four stops faster. This allows you to take sharp handheld shots even in low-light conditions--a must for sports and nature photography. The lens also offers an aspherical lens element that corrects for aberration, thus producing a topnotch image throughout the zoom range, and a circular aperture that exquisitely renders out-of-focus backgrounds. Despite its minimal size, weight, and cost, the lens expands the picture-taking possibilities any time slow shutter speeds are needed.Equipped with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm standard zoom lens is ideal for just about any application.
