• Great starter lens | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-28

  I replaced my kit lens 18-55mm lens with IS lens, to reduce some of "blurred" shots. And it has. Now, granted I still get few but that's due to non-ideal environments.
  For those who are starting out into this arena, this lens is a good choice.
  I would also recomment the 55-250mm IS lens by Canon.
  With these two lens, any one starting out will have lots of fun.
  

• cheap, unusable f-stop | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-13

  ok so i know it comes with the rebel xsi and it's only 50 bucks more in most cases,however if you shoot full zoom and at 5.6 it's damn near unusable for sharpness sake. 2.8 would give a huge amount of difference. think flash and soft light vs. deer in the headlights white hot and black background.
  if you are just using this to walk around in i guess it might work...but did you not just step up to a dslr camera? i want more and would pay a few bucks more for a usable lens. even the old standard lens of yesteryear was a 50 1.8 right? why not now.
  love the camera with the 430 ex and 70-200 NON IS 2.8

• Terrific price on a great lens. | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-13

  Amazon is offering this at a great price. I paid $190.00 at Adorama when they first came out. According to dpreview.com the optics are better than the original lens, and the image stabilization works well. They claim it is becoming the new standard kit lens. Don't pass up this deal.

  Have previously had cannon SLR products. But this is my first digital one. And so far we are completely satisfied with the lens. Before my standard lens was a 35mm-80mm. So I like the closer shooting distances with this 18-55.
  
  

• excelente mejora | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-04

  Tengo una canon 400D que trajo el 18-55 sin estabilizador. Ya habia leido que este nuevo lente no solo era mejor por el estabilizador sino que daba mejor definicion, pero ahora lo he comprobado por mi mismo. Le doy 5 estrellas porque no se puede conseguir algo mejor por su precio
