Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS lens adds image stabilisation to the company's older kit lens, otherwise they are basically the same. It's compatible with all Canon EF-S digital camera bodies, such as the EOS 450D and EOS 40D , but it won't fit on the EOS 5D or any cameras in the EOS 1D or 1Ds series.
Optical image stabilisation delivers sharper handheld photos at slow shutter speeds; Good optics for its class; Lightweight and compact
Poor manual focus ring design; Plastic construction less desirable than metal; 55mm maximum focal length may leave you short
