Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS - Retest @ 15MP / Review
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is the current generation budget "kit" lens for Canon EOS APS-C DSLRs.

"Canon EF-S 18-55mm Zoom Lens"
I recently purchased a sweet Canon 400D /XTi Rebel from Amazon.co.uk (￡45 cashback!) and this standard zoom lens (Canon EF-S 18-55mm ) came with it. As far as I know, you cannot purchase the Canon EF-S 18-5mm on it's own, as it's designed specifically to be sold with the 400D/XTi Rebel package.
Pros:
- Cheap and light
Cons:
- Grainy photo quality
- low zoom

Side-by-side comparison of the 18-55mm IS to the non-IS mk II version suggests that it offers more than simply the addition of an IS unit. The new lens is slightly longer than its predecessor (70mm vs 66mm), and the front element is substantially larger in diameter (44mm vs 37mm); the optical...
Pros:
- Much improved optics compared to Canon's previous non-IS 18-55mm kit lens
- Effective image stabilisation
- Very compact and lightweight
- Good macro performance
Cons:
- All plastic construction
- Rotating front element a pain for filter users
- Narrow and very loose manual focus ring
- Near-useless lens hood
