Very disappointed with the quality of photos that comes with the use of this lens,should have just purchased the body of the canon t-3i and purchased the 17-55 lens.
Pros: can't think of one
Cons: poor quality, quality of photos
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Camera

I love the camera, so far. I do wish I could take far awy pictures better. I wish is came with a strong zoom lens. they are very expensive. I was able to clear some distance pictures with the program that came with it. The pictures so far are beautiful but the camers is made for close-ups.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Cons: not good at a distance
I would recommend this to a friend!

exp EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II

from Western part of Texas, hot& dusty! LOL
I gave the kit lens 1 star simply because I had little use for this lens. This is the kit lens: EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II. This would be better: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens + this hood: Zeikos ZE-LH52 52mm Soft Rubber Lens Hood (Black). Yes, BOTH are cheap lenses but it is more useful than the kit lens, for me. I shoot more kids, family, portraits, etc. & the bokeh is great, This is just my 2 cents. I had more use from the nifty fifty & T2i in 2 weeks than 2 months with the kit lens. Please give us a choice Canon.

I am glad I purchased this camera. I initially purchased for shooting videos while at sports events, but I decided to use one day for a in home video and was surprised. The quality was and is amazing! I really LOVE the Bokeh. Very Beautiful. The only downside is if I'm wearing bright colors, they appear muted. I rarely use my 18-55 lens thanks to this baby!
Cons: alters the color a little
I would recommend this to a friend!

Original purchased back in 2016 and has been used frequently as an avid amateur photographer. Sensor failed and repair center deemed unrepairable and recycled. This was the same lens as a replacement.
