great for distance. no sound when zooming in especially on videos. would recommend this lens. don't use often but will get more use when going to concerts. compact and easily attachable to camera

Great lens for a good price. Use to shot photos of animals at Tiger World. Also birds and flowers around home.

Canon EF-S55-250mm: Impressive quality and reliability. The cost matched my expectations perfectly. Great addition to my gear.

I love it. Easy to work. Light weight. I’m very happy with it.

I love this lens! I purchased it with my Canon camera and have not had any problems with it! The image stabilizer is a great feature which allows you to capture better photos! I have taken some great shots with this lens and will continue to use it daily! Plus, the pricing at Best Buy for both my lens and my camera were phenomenal as well as the free/expedited delivery! Couldn't beat it!

Love this lens. It's so quiet and shoots great photos. Very good lens for its price.

My standard 18-55mm lens wasn't allowing me to take the pictures that I'd been imagining, so I wanted to upgrade with a telephoto lens. This was reasonably priced, compared to others, and it met all of my expectations. It feels sturdy and solid, and captures very crisp images. Very high quality images, even at maximum zoom.

Easy to use, great picture quality. Stability is good for taking still shots.

Great lens for long shots. Light enough to use and get a great picture.

Great affordable zoom lens. Great picture quality.

Good lens to allow distance photos, not difficult to switch lens on camera body

I bought this because my hands are not the steadiest(I need that IS) and because as a soccer fan, I like being able to take pictures all the way across the field and not miss any of the action. There's nothing special about this lens. It zooms really well, the IS is great, and the plastic build keeps the weight down. It does it's job 100% of the time.

This is a great lens for a beginner. I have already been able to take some great pictures that have impressed people… I have no clue what I’m doing.

If you need something reliable and price savvy, this lens is really good. If you want to really reach out, save your money for the 100-400 mm ISII Lens

Nice telephoto lens that is easy to use and shoots great pics.

This lenses is amazing. I love it because you can get great candid pictures because you can be far enough away where people don't know you are photographing them. You can also get great action shots of the kids on the ball fields. I couldn't believe the difference this lenses made to my Camera.

I got this lens on a price match and paid less than $300. The focusing motor is fast and quiet. Image stabilization is great. I’ve got many great photos using this lens especially since my eyesight is not what it used to be. This is the lens that I use most of the time. I am very happy with this purchase.

It was a great addition to my camera bag! I needed a lens for long shooting and also needed image stability and it was perfect!

The definition of photos is great and the range of zooms available is perfect for casual use

Great picture quality, wife loves it, and easy to use
