Bring your photographic subjects closer with this Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Zoom Lens. It is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology and is compact and light. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses). The image stabilizer effect is equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range.

Summary: Great Lens
Comment: Can't afford to buy a $600 lense, so we bought this one and I love it. I do a lot of action photos and it has helped tremendously. Lightweight too, so it doesn't weigh the camera down.

Summary: Works for me
Comment: I agree with most of the reviews that I have read on this product. It is well worth the money. I don't have a bunch of lenses lying around so I can't compare it to any other lens. For the basic user (like me) here is what I found:
1) the basic lens that comes with the Canon cameras goes up to 55mm. This is not very much but I did notice when using this new lens that we had a hard time zooming out so we could get everything inside a room. I don't know as any lens can do it all but you will want to keep your old lens.
2) if you get a zoom lens, you will want IS. I talked to a couple of friends that went the cheap rout because they didn't know why the IS lens cost so much. They said that unless you are outside on a very sunny day, the non-IS lens is worthless.
3) If your wife wants it for Christmas (like mine) you will score major points with this lens :-)

Summary: new favorite lens
Comment: I have the rebel xti and currently have the 18-55mm that came with it, and the 50mm f1.8, but I needed a little more focal range. I opted for the 55-250mm with IS not only for the increased focal range but also for the amazing price. Although it is plastic, the lens has a good, sturdy feel. The image stabilization is spectacular and has made photo opportunities that were previously impossible for me a breeze. If you are debating between this and the 70-300 with IS, though I have not used it, I would recommend this. For only 50mm more focal range and the price increase I couldn't see how the 70-300 could be worth it. I am considering eventually getting a 1.4x teleconverter that will bump this lens up to a max 350mm for only around $130, however it will need to be used mainly for outside photography due to its decrease in aperture. Well done, Canon.
