Reviews of the Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens
-
CNET Review
The Good: Optical image stabilization delivers sharper handheld photos at slow shutter speeds; lightweight, compact, and affordably priced; good optics for its class.
The Bad: Poor manual focus ring design; plastic construction less desirable than metal; 55mm maximum focal length may leave you short.
The Bottom Line: The Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens is a solidly performing medium-zoom lens, with good optics and image stabilization, that will appeal to more than just the entry-level crowd.
