Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens Reviews

PopPhoto reviews the Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens and writes;
“On our Digital Rebel XTi test body, AF action was fast, accurate, and surprisingly quiet. At slightly over 3 inches, racked out, the lens casts no shadow when used with the XTi’s flash…It’s a surprisingly good lens at an even more surprising price. “

Photozone reviews the Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens and writes;
“The resolution capabilities of this lens is amazing even based on the EOS 50D… the quality level remains very high throughout the zoom range. Even more surprising is the evenly high corner to corner performance. The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is certainly a value king with a price tag of around 160€/US$.”

Photo.net reviews the Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens and writes;
“The IS system worked well. I managed to get a reasonable number of sharp images at 1/4s at 18mm and at 1/12s at 55mm, which corresponds to about 3 stops of stabilization… Overall, I’d certainly recommend getting this lens as part of the kit if you’re buying a Rebel XSi. There’s nothing else in the price range that can match it. “

“If you need a general purpose lens, and the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens reaches the limits of your budget, it is a good choice. I think this lens is going to help sell more Canon Digital SLR cameras. It is certainly a great upgrade over the 18-55 II for the money. It is a nice addition to Canon’s lineup.”
