Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
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.

Good Lens
With this lens, you can take a photo for a remote object. It's very useful when you can't approach it. For example, you can take a photo for a squirrel 3 meters away.
I love my lens
So, this is my only telephoto lens, so I can't really compare to others. I do own 2 different types of lenses, & I find myself going right back to this one. I think for the price, quality, & features it has won't disappoint you. I have some great shots with this lens & I'm always so happy using it. I'm an amateur photographer on a budget & this lens is perfect for me right now. If I could've afforded the extra 50mm for a longer range, I would've, but I'm still in love with what I have.
So far, so good...
Not sure what battery life has to do with this lens, but I rated it a 4 * anyways...
I have only taken two pictures with it. No complaints. Works as advertised.
Canon Lens
I am totaly satisfied with this lens. I purchased it to go with my Canon Rebel for closer action shots at the PBR etc.
Very impressive lens
I did a lot of research prior to buying this lens. I have a Canon Rebel XSI, and the combination of this camera and the 55mm to 250 mm telephoto lens is excellent. The image quality is very, very good. I purchased it from Quality Photo through Amazon.com and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Great price, fast delivery.
