Excellent

Incredibly sharp that in sharpness my 24-105mm “L” lens is not any sharper than this lens.
What impressed me the most was that focusing is silent and very fast.
For shooting video I would not use any other lens.
I would say this lens is the by far the best APS-C (Crop Sensor) lens you can use.
It's a thrill to use this lens.

Your Average Lens

I have been using this lens for about one year and it is an average lens. I use this lens on my Canon EOS T5i DSLR. When I was a beginner, I used the servo auto-focus and sometimes it would not focus properly. Also, the lens is close to the manual focus area, and it is hard not to touch the lens. I would rate this lens a 3/5.

Great video lens

The 18-55 mm IS STM lens is great for video.It smoothly & noiselessly glides from subject to subject. For stills the focus is lightning fast. Super sharp lens. At closer distances at 18mm, barrel distortion is very pronounced. I have not noticed it at normal distances. The plastic bayonet mount contributes to its light weight; but I prefer metal. The electronic manual focus takes getting used to. You have to have the camera on to focus & there are no stops at the ends of the focus travel. The focus ring is always free turning. The faster you turn it, the faster the lens focuses. Rotate the other way & the lens focuses the other direction. The electronic focus is an acceptable trade off for the super auto focus. The lens looks better in real life, but still looks like a kit lens. The hood (extra) shades well , but is unattractive
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Super-sharp images, quiet
Cons: Poor build quality, plastic bayonet mount, electronic manual focus, high barrel distortion
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the new camera and lenses. The lenses seem to cover a wide range of views/magnifications, and picture clarity is unbelievable!!

We use this lens in conjunction with a Cannon t6i to produce great photographs of families in a portrait style for my work. This lens is perfect for getting both wide and zoomed in pictures with great detail. Would highly recommend for any amateur or professional photographer or business. (:

This lens is the king of the kit lenses and not only!
It is very surprisingly sharp indeed and the STM autofocus motor works extremely fast and silently. You will simply be amazed.

An Excellent purchase

is my first purchase of a Canon SLR camera and Canon lenses. My first set of photographs of my grand son's birthday part were more than satisfactory. All pictures were clear, crisp and color balanced. I hope to take more pictures, particularly nature pictures in the near future.
