Product Description:
Bring your photographic subjects closer with this Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Zoom Lens. It is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology and is compact and light. 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). The image stabilizer effect is 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.

Amazon.com Product Description:
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, this Canon lens will let you hand-hold shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. The lens also boasts a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration to create excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. Delivering an excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers, the 55-250mm lens carries a one-year warranty.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great product
The product came in great timing! It was mailed in the time as promised and came factory sealed. A great buy!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Lens
Can't afford to buy a $600 lense, so we bought this one and I love it. I do a lot of action photos and it has helped tremendously. Lightweight too, so it doesn't weigh the camera down.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works for me
I agree with most of the reviews that I have read on this product. It is well worth the money. I don't have a bunch of lenses lying around so I can't compare it to any other lens. For the basic user (like me) here is what I found:
1) the basic lens that comes with the Canon cameras goes up to 55mm. This is not very much but I did notice when using this new lens that we had a hard time zooming out so we could get everything inside a room. I don't know as any lens can do it all but you will ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - new favorite lens
I have the rebel xti and currently have the 18-55mm that came with it, and the 50mm f1.8, but I needed a little more focal range. I opted for the 55-250mm with IS not only for the increased focal range but also for the amazing price. Although it is plastic, the lens has a good, sturdy feel. The image stabilization is spectacular and has made photo opportunities that were previously impossible for me a breeze. If you are debating between this and the 70-300 with IS, though I have not used it, I would ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Lens
Great Image Stabilized lens the 70-300 is like $600 the 55-250 was $280 or less. I love this lens
