Digital camera reviews of Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens
Digital camera Review: Good bvut not the best
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this lens to replace a damaged Canon EF-S 18-55mm without image stabilizer.
The new product is o.k. but still has some problems at maximum range, for instance at 18mm or 55mm. It is hard to get a 'gentle' setting at these ranges. Otherwise this lens is very handy and gives you the freedom to have a high definition camera set with low weight and small space in your bag.
I can recommend the lens.
Digital camera Review: Good improvment on old kit lens
Summary: 4 Stars
I've owned the old 18-55 non-IS and this new IS version. I purchased it when I first bought my 40D. You can't beat the bang for the buck for this new version, and the lens gives you a nice wide angle zoom range. On the downside, the lens can feel a bit in build, and has noticeable distortion at 18mm. The next step up with this zoom range and IS is the 17-85IS which is at least $300 more than this lens so this is a good bargain! For anyone who has owned the older non-IS version of this lens, let me assure you that it is a nice step up!Digital camera Review: Good kit lens, works well.
Summary: 5 Stars
I got my camera with just the body, this is the kit lens.
It's a good lens, if you're concerned with autofocus speed, look for a USM lens.
Digital camera Review: Good lens for normal use
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great lens as a kit lens. I've gotten excellent pictures, accuracy etc. I use it with my XTi. IS lenses are useful for low light pictures.Digital camera Review: Good lense for a beginner
Summary: 5 Stars
Its been almost a month since I bought the 40D along with this lense. It is a very user friendly and easy to understand lense. The pictures are crisp and it works well in low light and lesser phtography favourable conditions.
It has a very generic configuration and can be used for all types of photography. However this lense is not a very good one to take extremely close shots and shooting big objects like aircrafts. You will definitely need additional lenses for fututre use.
