Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens Review
The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens is a small , light and economical telephoto zoom with a long focal length range - one that matches up very well to many general purpose zoom lenses . As it is an "EF-S" lens, the 55-250 IS can only be mounted on Canon APS-C/1.6x FOVCF bodies.

The EF-S 55-250IS is a relatively new lens designed to supplement the EF-S 18-55IS "Kit Lens" for the Digital Rebel line of DSLRs. Like the EF-S 18-55/3.5-5.6 IS, the 55-250/4-5.6 IS uses Canon's new low cost IS system.

Lens Test: Canon 55-250mm f/4-5.6 EF-S IS
An 88-400mm equivalent, this is Canon's longest EF-S (digital only) zoom, and roughly the low-cost digital alternative to its 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L full-frame "white" image-stabilized zoom that's so hot with pros.

very value for money telephoto lens. not to good for candid in wedding, because not fast enough, unless picture noise is not a big deal, we can use high ISO. very good match for 18-55is kit. image quality is as the price
Pros:
- very light, value for money
- the IS is good enough
- the autofocus fast enough
Cons:
- not to sharp, and chromatic aberation is visible at 100% croping (but i am not pixel peeper)
- not to fast
- build quality is so so
- but better than 18-55is

REVIEW: Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens Review
This telephoto zoom lens provides an angle of view equivalent to an 88-400mm used on a 35mm camera. This version is an update to the previous Canon 55-250mm IS II lens, adding Canon's new stepping motor technology, which promises smoother, quieter autofocus performance, which is especially suited to...

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS review by makcv113
I needed a telephoto to shoot a night time softball game. I passed on Tamron/Sigma's 70-200mm 2.8 because I read that they autofocused slow. Also I passed on the 70-200mm F4L thinking that performance wise, it would be almost the same as this 55-250mm.
Pros:
- Quality for price
- great in daylight
Cons:
- slow aperture
- not good in lowlight
- looks ugly

Built solely for Canon APS-C DSLRs, the 55-250mm offers a 35mm equivalent focal length of 88-400mm. While this is a highly versatile telephoto zoom range, other lenses in our round-up can zoom in over twice as tight.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS - Review / Test Report
Regarding the recently reviewed EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS I was prepared to receive another el-cheapo plastic lens but, honestly, the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS did surprise me here a bit. Sure, it is not build like a tank but the plastic quality is fairly decent and the tolerances are pretty tight.
