Len's mounting threads were stripped and very noisy while recording. Unsuitable for shooting my youtube video's or anything Macro or telephoto. Lens's fall off because of stripped threads.

I bought this a a replacement for the original lens that came with the camera. It seeemed to be just as good as the one that it was meant to replace

Bought this lens to replace mine that had broken. Works fine and good value

OEM brand lens - works great and was the lowest price around.

I use this lens more than my other ones. Good combination for many occasions. Still, I'm looking for an upgrade that'll probably cost more than my camera body.

Works for me; Nice zoom range, light weight, image stabilization and good images

Could have wider aperture, closer or longer zooms; Bugs me that the end rotates for polarizer and gradient filters

I actually dropped and broke this lens that came with my camera and had to replace with one from the store. The order to store option worked well, and did the trick.

I find this lens very versatile. It is also not too bulky to bring on our regular dog park visits. I can take pictures of my dogs from different distances. It performs adequately for what I intended it for.

Good as a kit lens, but I wouldn't buy it otherwise unless I had no other choice. I spent almost no time upgrading mine to a 15-85mm.

Light & Small, Sharp, Good IQ

Slow and noisy AF; filter ring rotates; feels like a toy

My perfect budget DSLR kit would include this lens for everyday use and macro photography, the Canon 55-250 zoom lens, and a 50mm prime lens for low light. Get a set of 58mm filters to protect your lenses, the filters are much easier to clean, and breaking a filter is a LOT cheaper than breaking...

Note: This lens is the kit lens that comes with the Digital Rebel XSi and a few other Canon cameras; The lens has a decent zoom, and is easy to use, even for beginners; Image stabilization works well and is quiet; Cheap

Sometimes this lens has problems focusing in low light; The focus ring is actually the end of the lens, so for beginners it is a little tricky to find; Aperture is not as fast as I would like, but it certainly works for low light photography, as long as you have a good tripod.

Just a terrific lens for a "kit" lens.A best buy.It is a huge improvement over the older kit lens.The IS is superb.I think it's a best buy and Canon finally has built an very good,inexpensive consumer lens.

WAY better than old non-IS Excellent IS sharp(shockingly good)

plastic build feels cheap(but is very adequate)
