Digital SLR Lens Product Description
Canon’s latest optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology provides up to 4-stop compensation for image blur caused by camera shake and slow shutter speeds. Photographers normally shooting handheld at 1/250 sec can switch on IS to obtain a similarly steady and blur-free result with a shutter speed of just 1/15 second. The inclusion of automatic panning detection makes it easier for photographers to track wildlife and other moving subjects. To ensure consistently accurate results at all zoom positions, the IS system within each lens has been optimised for that lens’ specific focal length range. Since the IS system is based within the lens, the results are visible through the viewfinder when framing the image.
Digital SLR Lens Customer Reviews
Great lens with great improvements
I purchased this lens for my Canon Digital Rebel XT. I opted not to purchase the original kit lens due to the bad reviews. However recently I took another look and I decided to purchase this lens based on the improvements Canon made. It was definitely worth the wait!
It’s made a huge difference in the color and clarity of my photographs. The colors are gorgeous, great contrast, and very sharp. The Image Stabilization is awesome. Shooting in very low light, without a tripod is a breeze now. I haven’t noticed any distortion even in bright sunlight. The lens body is made of plastic, but that makes it nice and light in my view - not too heavy to pack around.
This lens is definitely not of professional quality, as the price would indicate, but for the amateur photographer or someone on a budget this is a great lens. If you’re willing to shop around, you can even find it for around $100!
