I bought two of these lenses, these are my everyday field lenses, you can't go wrong. Too good to pass at this price. Thanks.

I bought this a a replacement for the original lens that came with the camera. It seeemed to be just as good as the one that it was meant to replace

This is the standard kit lens you can get with the camera, it is plastic which makes it feel cheap, and the zoom is not great for video, tends to move in jerks, but the optics are surprisingly good quality, and have had good reviews elsewhere.

Great Picture Quality; Lightweight

Flimsy Construction

I bought this lens for my new 70D because of video and found it quite acceptable and very good for the price. It works well on auto focus in video mode.

Great lens I needed a replacement and it' works great

The third version of Canon's image-stabilized 18–55mm APS-C-format kit zoom, the new EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM ($249, street) is the first with an STM focusing motor that complements the Movie Servo mode in newer Canon DSLRs.

Bought this to replace non Image Stabiliser and fantastic all rounder with crisp, vibrant clear shots with all cameras

The product is flimsy. When trying to focus people/objects most times the right side blurs up. Always the right side

Compact

on paper (and in the internet) it's a mechanically sub-par standard zoom with suprisingly great sharpnessin my experience it is different. mechanics are very much OK, nothing to be ashamed of for an inexpensive standard zoom. level of detail on the photos also appears good.

decent level of detail; vivid colours; very appropriate size and weight for a Rebel body; quick and silent AF; very OK mechanically

lack of microcontrast

Many users will probably think that OpticalLimits went gaga considering the resolution results of the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 STM IS. Honestly, we'd prefer it to be worse so we wouldn't need to argue.
