I've brought this to match my Nikon lens, and this one is so much better, My review is this is cheaper then the other companies out there.

Sharp; fast to focus; minimal chromatic aberration; good zoom range; image stabilisation very effective

Nothing so far

this lens is a bit similiar story to 18-55 STM. it hits the sweetest spot of size and weight for this focal range - just enough heavy for good handholdability, not too heavy to not want to carry it around.

inexpensive; size and weight spot on for a Rebel body and this focal range; good shapness until some 180mm

lack of microcontrast

Fits the EOS 800D perfectly and with plenty of room for bits and pieces in a nice carry bag

I needed a replacement lens, something affordable but that could help me capture the moments, sometimes from afar. This lens has worked great. The quality of the photos have been great and the value for the price is unmatched.

I'm using this with my newly purchased (from Argos) Canon 750D camera. As a newcomer to this quality of photographic equipment I'm absolutely delighted with this lens. It's so quick and easy to change the lenses, and the sharp quality of the image with the stabiliser feature is amazing.

Great for shooting sports and anything a bit further away. Even if the subject still looks far away once the pic has been taken, you can zoom and crop still with immaculate detail.

This is a light weight and inexpensive lens which takes very sharp photos at any focal length. Considering the crop factor (1.6) for my Canon T7i camera, it provides an effective telephoto focal length range of 88-400 mm. Excellent! Only downside is that the mount is plastic not metal.
