The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is a compact standard zoom lens built for Canon’s EF-S mount APS-C DSLR system. Covering a focal range equivalent to approximately 29-88mm in full-frame terms, it spans a practical everyday shooting range from moderate wide-angle through short telephoto suited to travel, street, and general-purpose photography. The variable maximum aperture runs from f/3.5 at the wide end to f/5.6 at full extension, and built-in optical Image Stabilization helps compensate for camera movement during handheld shooting. A micro motor handles autofocus operation, and the compact and lightweight construction makes it a natural everyday pairing with Canon’s APS-C DSLR bodies, commonly included as a kit lens alongside entry to mid-level Canon EF-S mount bodies.

Ryan ★★★★★

The image stabilizer is a lifesaver for handheld shots at 55mm, and the autofocus locks on fast enough for my kids running around. Even with those tiny artifacts mentioned in the listing, my photos come out sharp and the zoom range covers everything I need for daily use.

Leo H. ★★★★★

I was a bit nervous about those "artifacts" mentioned, but after shooting a few dozen shots, they're barely noticeable and the image stabilization really helps keep things sharp handheld.

Hazel ★★★★☆

For the price I paid, the image stabilization works surprisingly well for handheld shots in low light. The zoom range covers what I need for daily use, and the compact size makes it easy to carry around.
