Excellent distance lens
Great for shooting sports and anything a bit further away. Even if the subject still looks far away once the pic has been taken, you can zoom and crop still with immaculate detail.

Great lens for the price.
Using a 12mm extension tube with this lens enabled high quality images from 15 metres, using a Canon 200D.

A great 'kit' lens
This is a great little addition to my kit - it has a really positive zoom - doesn't slip when camera is tilted - it produces good sharp images with great colour reproduction. Lightweight too so easy to carry with me.

The Lens You Must Have ....
Being a proud of owner of Canon EOS 500D and this lens makes me overwhelmwed with the output of the photos that I am clicking. 10X Zoom is the best and the clarity of the picture taken is so great,each and every detail can be identified.This lens is must to have when you are using a SLR.

So far so good
Pretty great lens for the price. I had been looking for a while at the 70-300 range, but none featured IS. I read a lot of reviews and watched tons of videos. This one seemed to be the best, i was willing to pay the $250 they charged on Amazon, but at $170 this was a steel.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM
I purchased this used on Ebay for 138.00. I have used the ISII version of this lens. While I was impressed with that lens I must say this one is even sharper. I purchased this STM model to complement the kit 18-55stm that came with my SL1.
Pros:
- sharp
- silent and built solid
Cons:
- Really nothing so far

this lens is a bit similiar story to 18-55 STM. it hits the sweetest spot of size and weight for this focal range - just enough heavy for good handholdability, not too heavy to not want to carry it around.
Pros:
- inexpensive
- size and weight spot on for a Rebel body and this focal range
- good shapness until some 180mm
Cons:
- lack of microcontrast

Features and handling The unusual 55-250mm focal length range of this telephoto lens butts up neatly with Canon's 18-55mm standard kit lens. Between them, the two optics offer EOS users an uninterrupted range of 18-250mm – that's 29-400mm once you factor in the EOS system 1.6x crop factor.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
I had ordered this item from a different site and never received it. I was really very frustrated because they had charged me 4 something I never got and I really need it but couldn't wait long. So I ordered from you, guys, but never believed it will come on time 4 the trip that I needed it.

Seems to be a pretty awesome lens so far.
I'm still learning how to fully utilize this lens which came as part of a package deal with the Canon EOS Rebel T3i that I purchased. It seems to be a great little lens for taking quality distance shots. I expect to appreciate it even more as I learn to use it to it's full capacity.
Pros:
- Still learning how to use this
- but I have been impressed with the photos I've been able to take while experimenting
Cons:
- No complaints
