Fast, capable, accurate lens.

I always carry a P&S camera with a fast f/1.8 lens and 3X zoom. But, for more distant subjects I use the Canon 55-250mm on a Canon T3i camera - and it does a great job.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Durable
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus
  • Lightweight

Successful purchase - Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS Lens

I bought this lens this week and I have been using it with my Canon 300D as my first additional lens to the one that came with the camera. I am very pleased indeed with the lens. I have taken some great bird photos and one or two others this week. The images are sharp and clear.

Better Than More Expensive Lenses

I bought this lens last summer and have taken well over 1000 pics with it. My demands are high as I photograph small birds which can be difficult at best. I take most pics at about 5 - 20 meters in dense brush. I use AF centre selection to focus directly on the tiny bird.

Excellent lens

Took some action shots at my son's hockey game and both the auto focus and image stabilization were fantastic. Even with the hockey glass in the way, the resulting pictures came out incredible. This is a Great product. And the price was right with the best buy sale.

I had ordered a great package deal that turned out to be a mistake on the website so instead of getting the camera bundled I thought I was getting, I only got the lens. The lens by itself wasn't a great deal so after a few emails to Walmart.com complaining about them not honoring the package I had...

I am a armature and bought this lens to complement the kit lens on my T3, great lens, great price, I am very pleased with the results of the pictures using this lens. I didn't go with the 70-300mm because the price with the IS was out of my budget, this was a great compromise.
