Great gift for a camera beginner

I got this as a gift from my Grandpa and I love it so far. Given me some really great shots, a little less zoom than I need for a lot of my shots but that's not Canon's fault.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great beginners lens

Bought this one a while back and have been very satisfied with it. Just like a few others on here mentioned, quality can be a bit fuzzy when not using a tripod but it still pretty decent. Would not be my first choice to recommend to a professional but definitely great to start out with and learn.

Pretty impressed

I got this lense the same time I got my camera. And I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. I wouldn't recommend this to a professional. But for a beginner or a intermediate photographer it's a perfect fit. It's a great lens and I would recommend this to anyone who would like a medium duty lens.

GREAT value

This is a great lense! I just bought it with my first DSLR in a package. i got the Rebel XS. I love the lense. I gave it four stars for features because it is not IS. I dont think that this is a big deal considering the price. I have been able to obtain some great pictures with it and i have no complaints. I have had it for about a month or so and have used it a lot. I have heard complaints about the autofocus but it is plenty fast enough for me, even fast enough to keep up with my 1.5 year old yellow lab puppy!
Pros: Fast auto-focus, compact, value
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fantastic Pro-Quality lens!

Pretty amazed by this lens!!
It's ultra fast to focus, super quiet which is helpful in churches or for wild life.
It has always taken crisp, sharp pictures for me. Even in low light it's aperture if large enough to allow for fast shutter times, thereby producing great pictures of weddings, etc. The Zoom is amazing, at 300mm - you can get close up images of rings going onto fingers from half way back in the church! Really nice lens, light weight, and reliable.

Great lens for the price.

This lens is great for the price. I read a lot of reviews of people complaining that there is no IS on it. First of all you don't use an IS with a tripod. Secondly, using AF really doesn't give you the sharpest photos. That is what manual focal ring is for. Over all the lens MTP chart has a high rating at 75-200mm. If you want to have a good telephoto lens for a great price then this is a good buy. If you can't afford a more expensive lens and worry about possible camera shake, because there is no IS on this lens, remember you can always use mirror lock up on your camera or live view.
Pros: Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Cons: would love to see a 2.8 on this.

Great for airshows

I bought this lens for airshows and it does not disappoint. This lens works great for capturing aircraft whether static, taxiing, or in-flight. As with any tool, I had to learn how to use it effectively and there was some trial and error. Lots of blurry pictures and missed shots. But, that was my novice fault and not the lens. Once I became proficient in the usage of this lens, my shots consistently come out great even after cropping. If this lens can cleanly capture a jet going 500 miles per hour, it will definitely work for any other subject you need to zoom in on.

It's great for it's price

For starters this is not a lens for professionals and I'm not one anyway so..., knowing that this is a great lens. It has the features you'll need to take it into the field and get some really good photos under your belt while getting use to the handling and functions of a telephoto lens. After you master this one and chose to use your camera rather then park it in the closet you may end up buying the next level up but for starting out or even for a an everyday knock around lens this one is perfect and can handle some abuse with no trouble. For the cost you really can't beat it. Overall the images will be some you can take a level of pride in. I have taken some longer shots (around 50 to 70 yards) of birds which came out pretty darn good. After printing them I was fairly satified with it and I'm happy enough with it to say "I would" buy it again for the price.
After all the cost is nothing compared to other high end lens's and it's a little toughy that will not make you worry to take it in the woods or the city and get a few bumps, it can handle it. If you buy one for non-professional work you'll have some really neat photos that people will admire including you.
