Wide range of zoom

Pros: Range of zoom makes it versatile. Can shoot from 1.5 feet to across a parking lot. Great travel/walking around camera. Comes with locking mechanism to keep it from extending involuntarily.
Cons: Lose some quality of photos for so much zoom. Picky, not always quick to focus. Heavy (makes camera point down when around next instead of straight out.) Won’t do close-up macro (closest = 1.5 feet/.45m). Lens cap does not come with hole for string to keep it attached to camera when not using.
Measures a little over 3.5” when at its smallest, 6” when fully extended. Used with Rebel t3i.
Previously owned: Canon Powershot SD1000 Digital Elph (2007), Nikon Coolpix s8000 (2011), Canon Sx50 (2012). Currently own: Canon t3i (DSLR), Sony Hx20v

So happy that I don't have to keep changing lenses

I love that I don't have to keep changing the lenses all the time. It is so easy to shoot close or far away just by adjusting the dial. I haven't gotten to use it for sports but will try that soon. With 8 active grandkids it will be used a lot. I also got a good deal on it so saved some money that can be used for more camera equipment.
What's great about it: I got a good deal on it.
What's not so great: It's a little heavy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love it because I don't have to carry any other lens. That makes my pack weigh less.

I needed a lens that provided a good range so I didn't have to keep switching lenses back and forth during the same event. This lens was the perfect fit! It allows for close ups and long range zooming without sacrificing picture quality.

Great single lens

from Ypsilanti, MI
If you only want to carry single lens, this is the one. Only complaint is, if I'm wearing my camera by its strap, the lens always opens up....zooms in and the lens gets longer making it more unwieldy. Other than that, quite happy with it.
What's great about it: Great when you don't want to carry extra lenses.
What's not so great: The zoom drifts unexpectedly.

This lens produces awesome results even for beginners. The image stabailzation is a big part of taking successful pictures. It's easy to use, especially in your camera's auto mode.
What's great about it: easy to use - has image stabilization
