- None so far

Nice all in one
I have even used this lens on my 7D and have shot unbelievable photos with it. It is absolutely a fantastic lens for the price. Half the price of L-glass of equivalent quality. Besides what others have said, this is a great, sturdy lens. Works fantastic even in less light. Nice all in one.
Pros:
- Wide zoom range
- fast quiet focus
- image stabilizer
- 67mm
- nice walk around and nice focus range even for video
Cons:
- Not a f2.8, not 800 dollars Not 77mm No optional extras (lens hood, UV filter) So get them
- Heavy compared to kit lens and a lot larger, good construction usually is

Good for ametuers and semi pros
I would like to recommend this lens who are trying to upgrade from their kit lens. Other than a bit of chromatic aberration at the edges of leaves when zoomed. This lens rocks. I bought this lens when i bought my camera body. Till then this lens was my great companion.

good kit lens
There seems to be a lot of quality control issues with this lens. The main problen i have with this lens is "zoom creep". Its also hard to focus manually. Other than that, the lens is good. I traded the kit lens that came with the camera for this lens, and i'm glad i did.
Pros:
- good lens if you dodge a lemon
Cons:
- Poor build quality
- zoom creep

I found this lens to be a great walk around lens. With the IS it provides lower light hand holdable shots otherwise not possible. Great overall lens for the 20d. Cons: A little vignetting at extreme f4 @ 17mm.
