Great kit lens. Auto focus is insanely fast; blink & you'll miss it. As others noted, focusing wheel could be a tad wider...but that doesn't affect operation. Image stabilization is too notch. I took the photo below as I came to a crossroad from inside an idling (vibrating18-wheeler big-rig semi truck. Sharp as a tack.

Great lense, especially for the price. Light weight, always works well. Only problem is the silver "stripe" came off which is disappointing for a Canon product. Doesn't affect function or quality of pictures just isn't something I would expect from Canon.

Used this to replace a much more expensive super wide zoom. I did so because of this lens is much lighter and that's what I needed. Had to give up 2.8 but I'll live with that.

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens is a great lens to add to your Lens assortment. It has great dof. The image quality isn't superb but this lens is a great buy for a beginner, hobbyist, or someone on a budget. It is quick, silent and has accurate focusing.

Compact and lightweight, the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM packs together legendary Canon optics, a versatile zoom range and quiet operation for power on the go. The lead screw-type stepping motor (STM) helps ensure smooth autofocus and near-silent operation, helping you capture videos with great audio and minimal background noise so you won't distract your subject in a quiet photo environment. Advanced image stabilization can result in sharper photos with minimal blur, even in low light. With a compact size, high image quality and versatile zoom, the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM is designed to fit into your life.
High performance in a small, lightweight package, the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM puts a versatile zoom range of 18–55mm into a compact, non-retracting body that’s easy to carry. Its optical system is designed to help ensure high image quality while keeping the lens compact and easily portable so it stays out of the way and is with you when you need it. Bring the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM and your camera with you in your daypack or camera bag so you can capture life’s adventures on a hike, vacation or in your own backyard.
When it comes to recording video, you want to be sure you capture all the subtle sounds of what you’re recording. Thanks to its lead screw-type stepping motor (STM), the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM focuses smoothly and near-silently. There’s virtually no mechanical noise from the lens to distract from your movie – just the dialogue, music or other important sounds you want to capture.
For consistently sharp results, the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM features an improved Image Stabilizer system that provides enhanced shake reduction for up to 4 stops* of shutter speeds. This means more reliable handheld performance and clearer detail in low-light situations, without having to increase the ISO or decrease the shutter speed. Because of its enhanced stabilization, the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM can also help minimize the need for a tripod.
* Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards. Testing performed using the EOS 7D Mark II digital SLR camera at a focal length of 55mm, 35mm-equivalent 88mm. The number of stops may vary based on the camera model used.
The innovative design of the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM combines style and usability. The exterior of the lens is textured with a black leather coating that allows for a precise grip that feels comfortable in your hand. The smooth-turning focus and zoom rings were designed for ease of use and accurate movement. A platinum ring behind the zoom ring adds a touch of sophistication, and the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM’s non-retracting design combined with its lightweight body makes it easy to carry with you wherever you go.
