Incorporating Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology, this Canon 55-250mm telephoto zoom lens captures long distance, low-light shots far better than many comparable lenses, helping you photograph the far-off action of athletes or zoom in for an intimate portrait with a blurred background. The high-zoom-ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses). More significantly, the image stabilizer effect creates an equivalent shutter speed of roughly four stops faster than the same size lens without an image stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you can hold a 250mm lens steadily is normally 1/250th of a second, (more…)

Dollar for Dollar
The cost of this lens compared to the next in line makes this lens a great value. To get a slightly better zoom you have to pay almost twice as much.

Great Zoom Lens
I bought this lens to bring to the Zoo, parks, etc with my kids to get close ups of animals and such. So far so good. The image stabilizer is a must!

Canon zoom lens
Price was very good for this product. I needed it in a hurry, and it got here when promised. It has performed above my expectations. Would recommend this product to others.

It does what it is intended to use for
Initially, I wondered why IS costs much. Looking at the built quality (Plastic), it does not look as ~$300 lens.

pretty good kit lens, but not a prime for sure…
If I had never gotten my 50mm 1.8 prime lens I’d probably be over the moon with this zoom lens. However I have gotten spoiled to it and this lens doesn’t quite match up to the…

Great value for its image quality and zoom range
For amateur photographers, this lens is an excellent compliment to the kit lens to extend the zoom range. With its price, it has its drawbacks: slow (4.0-5.

Nifty Two-Fifty is a Great Lens
I am a middle-of-the-road photographer ~ not a pro, but not a novice. This is my first non-kit lens & I LOVE it.

Great lens for the price.
I am very much satisfied with this, using it with a canon 40D. I planned to get this lens since this was the telephoto lens in this price.

For me as a beginner
Haven’t owned an SLR in 30 years, this lens was the compliment to my Rebel XSi that I needed to get back into a fine hobby.

Good and relatively inexpensive lens
I just got this lens last month and have been mostly pleased with the results. It is only my second DSLR lens next to the 18-55mm standard lens, but I am pleased with it so far…
