COMMENTS: Canon added a new type of IS system to the EF-S 18-55 and claim it can give up to an extra 4 stops of "handholdability". User reports suggest higher image quality than the non-IS version, plus very effective image stabilization. Definitely a good buy as a "kit" lens with an XTi/Xsi or EOs 40D.
