Great starter wildlife photography lens. Auto focus is pretty intuitive and the focus is sharp. If you are walking with your camera on your neck the lens has a tendency to 'slip' down and extend but other than that is is a solid construction.

I think it's a "must be" lens for every Canon DSLR (APS-C size) owner. It's not the excellent lens, but a very good one to have in my bag, by the side of a 18-55mm or a 17-85mm, to cover almost everything I like to take a photo. Not heavy as a 70-300mm, with IS, quick and accurate in most cases focusing and good to very good image quality. I have also the EF55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 USM, a good lens, without IS. The 55-250mm has almost the same picture quality, it's the same light and small, in addition has 50mm (50x1,6=80mm) more Tele and the IS facility, but it's not suitable for full frame cameras. Not for miracles, but a very good "general purpose" lens, in a low price.
This lens performs on a level well above what its price suggests. Resolution is excellent even at the longest focal length. It is light, easy to handle and the Image Stabilization works well. I bought this to give to my grandson to use with his Canon digital Rebel, but I took it with me on a trip to Alaska and got some great musk ox, moose and reindeer shots. The only thing I have found about this lens that keeps it from being a candidate for serious photographers is that the external focus allows the front of the lens to rotate. This makes it a nuisance to deal with when using a polarizer. Also, the dedicated petal lens hood rotates which may not be a serious problem once the lens is zoomed from its minimum focal length, but must be checked when the lens is racked clear in to be sure there is no corner vignetting. One would also hope for a bit closer focus capability, but at the price, that might be expecting a bit too much. The lens ranks better in imaging quality than it's more professional and pricier ef-s counterpart in testing by Popular Photography magazine.Read full review
Great lens for the standard Canon EOS cameras. The Stabilizer works great for slow shutters, but ultimately a tripod or mono-pod should be used. The Auto Focus works pretty good, but a the real value of this lens comes in the manual focus option. The rubberized ring around the lens for both adjusting focal length and focusing ring, are pretty well built for this standard lens. The photo quality is relatively good, being it as a kit lens. I would recommend this lens for anyone who needs a little more telephoto than the standard 200mm, but not breaking the bank either. So, final verdict, I give it a 5/5 rating for the basics and design. Photo quality is good, and operation is ergonomic.
