Digital camera reviews of Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Amazingly good for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
The IS system works extremely well, though it is not silent. The lens is small and lightweight, but it is cheap feeling. If you have the money, you'll be happier with more expensive Canon glass, but for the money this lens is hard to beat. With the 18-55mm IS, any Canon EF-S shooter can have a very wide selection of focal lengths with just two lenses. They're slow lenses, but the image stabilization makes up for that in most cases. Obviously moving subjects are the exception and sports photographers will always want fast lenses.Digital camera Review: Another good addition to my Canon lens collection.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used Canon products exclusively since my first purchase in 1960, with countless Canon cameras since my first Canon FT SLR. I did not think that a zoom lens in this price range could be as good as this 55-250 mm is proving to be. I would certainly recommend this lens to any Canon user who wishes to try this zoom range and is budget minded. After doing much research concerning lens tests, etc, before my purchase, I must say that it is exceeding my expectations already.Digital camera Review: As Described
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very new to DSLR photography and this lens was everything advertised. I based my decision on other user reviews and couldn't be happier. Would definitely recommend this lens to any new user like myself as very versatile.Digital camera Review: Average lens for the poor
Summary: 3 Stars
The most positive thing to say about this lens is that it's better than the stock lens that came with the camera. The zoom has been invaluable but the f-stop is insanely high. Don't bother trying to use this camera in low-light situations unless you are very patient and can spare the disk space for the hundreds to pics you'll need to snap to find one good one. The IS is a neat concept, but I don't see a difference between it and the stock lens in terms of blurred photos: again, probably a factor of the high f-stop. Then again this is a really cheap lens that can serve more than one function, I suppose. Average at everything. I give it 3 yawns out of 5.Digital camera Review: Awesome close-ups...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome lens from Canon for your DSLR - it partners nicely with the kit lens. Don't be fooled by other Canon zoom lenses which are offered in packages. Many I saw offered were older lenses originally designed for the 35mm SLR's. This newer DSLR zoom lens includes the digital stabilization which will be a great big help in allowing you to capture crystal sharp images on even the most powerful zoom setting.
