Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens

By Matthew Fitzgerald (zdnet.com)

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS lens adds image stabilization to the company's older kit lens, though otherwise it and its predecessor are basically the same. It's compatible with all Canon EF-S digital camera bodies, such as the EOS Rebel XSi and EOS 40D, ...

Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens review

By Matthew Fitzgerald (cnet.com)

Optical image stabilization delivers sharper handheld photos at slow shutter speeds ; lightweight, compact, and affordably priced ; good optics for its class

Poor manual focus ring design ; plastic construction less desirable than metal ; 55mm maximum focal length may leave you short

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens is a solidly performing medium-zoom lens, with good optics and image stabilization, that will appeal to more than just the entry-level crowd.

Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

By John Q. Camera (photographyreview.com)

A really good all-around lens. If I had to take only one lens on vacation, this would be it. The combination of wide angle and zoom make it very versatile. Some reviewers have complained of lens creep - the model I received had a manual lock that prevent...

The IS function works good as long as you're not over-caffeinated, I imagine a system built into the camera body works better though. Decent focusing speed and low-light performance. Great zoom and wide angle. Decent focus quality, but there were some pho...

Heavy. Obvious vignetting. Obvious spherical aberration. Power consumption is high with the IS switched on, and ***the IS does not seem to shut off when you turn the camera off!*** I have to shut off the IS independently. of the camera power. I figured t...

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

By mn shutterbug (photographyreview.com)

I just received this lens yesterday and put it through a couple quick tests. I was shocked, when considering the price, that the sharpness was consistent throughout, no vignetting and I had to enlarge twice the size of my PC screen to be able to pixel pee...

IQ and lightweight.

I wouldn't want to drop it on a concrete floor.

Manufacturer's Description

With its effective focal length range of approximately 16-35mm in 35mm format, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is a remarkable lens with outstanding image quality that will take your photography into new dimensions and areas of dramatic expression. The super-wide zoom not only gives you the freedom to get exactly what you want in the shot, it dramatically alters perspective to allow for dynamic expression. The lens allows you to get extremely close to subjects, exaggerating the difference in...
