The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens is the 6th Canon APS-C kit lens having this same focal length range (not counting the EF-M variant and a III version available in a limited number of countries).

Canon's new 18-55mm zoom is an attractive proposition thanks to its relatively cheap price and the inclusion of image stabilisation.......
Fantastic value for money
Poor manual-focusing experience
Side-by-side comparison of the 18-55mm IS to the non-IS mk II version suggests that it offers more than simply the addition of an IS unit. The new lens is slightly longer than its predecessor (70mm vs 66mm), and the front element is substantially larger in diameter (44mm vs 37mm); the optical...
Much improved optics compared to Canon's previous non-IS 18-55mm kit lens; Effective image stabilisation; Very compact and lightweight; Good macro performance
All plastic construction; Rotating front element a pain for filter users; Narrow and very loose manual focus ring; Near-useless lens hood
At $175 (street), this digital-only wide-to-normal standard zoom offers Canon EOS Digital Rebel shooters image stabilization for only about $35 -- and 1.3 ounces -- more than Canon's non-IS kit zoom.
Len's mounting threads were stripped and very noisy while recording. Unsuitable for shooting my youtube video's or anything Macro or telephoto. Lens's fall off because of stripped threads.
Good as a kit lens, but I wouldn't buy it otherwise unless I had no other choice. I spent almost no time upgrading mine to a 15-85mm.
Light & Small, Sharp, Good IQ
Slow and noisy AF; filter ring rotates; feels like a toy
Great lens I needed a replacement and it' works great
My perfect budget DSLR kit would include this lens for everyday use and macro photography, the Canon 55-250 zoom lens, and a 50mm prime lens for low light. Get a set of 58mm filters to protect your lenses, the filters are much easier to clean, and breaking a filter is a LOT cheaper than breaking...
Note: This lens is the kit lens that comes with the Digital Rebel XSi and a few other Canon cameras; The lens has a decent zoom, and is easy to use, even for beginners; Image stabilization works well and is quiet; Cheap
Sometimes this lens has problems focusing in low light; The focus ring is actually the end of the lens, so for beginners it is a little tricky to find; Aperture is not as fast as I would like, but it certainly works for low light photography, as long as you have a good tripod.
OEM brand lens - works great and was the lowest price around.
This lens is a kit lens but it's still very good, especially for a kit lens. Here are some more detailed pros and cons from my use of this lens:Pros:-Very light, granted it is mostly plastic-Sharp photos (especially in RAW mode)-Decent walk around lens-Image StabilizationCons:-Build quality isn't...
Easily Interchangeable; Good IQ; Lightweight; Sharp Focus
Weak Casing
