If you want a "do it all" compact lens it is a great buy. I think the main benefit is the fact that it is a relatively inexpensive lens for what it can do. The convenience of not having to switch to a different lens is superb and certainly allow me to get more great photos and for nonchalant, non professional activities it works well for me and the center sharpness of the lens is superb. The down side of the lens is that it has a slow aperture. So if I was photographing sports action I always seem to have to increase the ISO to compensate and I must say that the photos are typically less than stellar. It also lacks vibration reduction so on occasions where you want really good picture quality a tripod is helpful especially if you are want take advantage of the telephoto portion for the lens. However, I have gotten superb results without the tripod when there is adequate light. Overall, I found the usefulness and the freedoms of snapping a scene quickly without having to exchange for another lens extremely helpful and the ends seem to justify the means in this regard. However, if it is quality of pictures with vibration reduction I would look into Tamron's 18-270 or Nikons 70-300.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Pros; Excellent camera for covering a wild range Quality shots were taken from around 30 - 100 mm, any longer a tripod is required to bring out a good shot. AF was very quiet all the time. Cons; Slight lens creep if facing down and I cannot stress the need for a tripod for long shots. When zooming I had to re-focus again. Scudder2332
So far I have used it for landscapes, kids playing and portraits. There are better lenses out there to do those jobs but not in a single lens, in its price range. My only issue with it is the zoom creep, but for a quarter of the price of the canon lens I can live with the creep To me, the images are crisp and clean but I am not a pro. I love the zoom range 18-250 which works out to be equivalent to about 28 - 400 on my aps-c sensor. The stabilization of the next version ( 18-270 ) would be nice but saving about $350 dollars was worth it. I have and will continue to recommend this lens.
Again, these all in one range lenses are just not that great. While definitely usable and an improvement over previous models, it still needs good light, has a slower AF, but is very lightweight and sharpness, contrast, and colors are nice. I think the newer 18-270mm would be the better deal, but if you can get this model at a decent price do not shy away if a daytime walk around lens is what you are looking for.
