| This telephoto zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness, in response to demands of photographers. This 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), and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. This new EF-S telephoto lens with great features delivers excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers. | Our Experts recommend these accessories:

Comments about Canon 55-250 mm f/4-5.6 EF S IS Lens:
I bought this lens about 8 months ago. I was low on cash but wanted a lens with a focal length in the 100~300mm range. I opted for this one. I assumed that it would be an extension on my 18-55mm kit lens that came with my Rebel XSi. I have been sorely disappointed. The lens is able to zoom a great distance, but every picture comes out grainy. I have only been able to print a small number acceptable picture from the lens. The lens is adequate during bright light conditions, such as an afternoon baseball game or children at a park. I plan to sell this and upgrade to a lens with higher quality glass.

Comments about Canon 55-250 mm f/4-5.6 EF S IS Lens:
I bought this lens for my Canon EOS Xti and used it at a family wedding for the first time. I was impressed with it's ability to shoot distant photos in a fairly low light setting. Daytime action photos are fantastic but not as useful in lower light with any movement. Obviously this shouldn't be the lens of choice in those settings. But it far exceeded my expectations given the low price, the lens performed as well as any of the pro lenses I have used within the same catagory.

This lense attached to my Canon Rebel XSI is a great combination. The other day I shoot a few pictures of a herd of elk about a 1/2 mile away. Put the pictures on my computor and 20x them to count the tines on the big bulls with perfect clearity. Great lense, great camera....Thanks Canon
