Stabilizer Lens Kit
Camera 450D - I Wanted To Mention The Image Stabilizing Lens
Ok, So I just bought this camera and lens kit. I'm really not going to say much about the camera as there are so many detailed reviews on here I doubt I would add much. I would say though that this is, as almost everyone says, a superb camera. Ok onto the lens.
One thing that I was interested in was the Image Stabilizer built into the lens. Is it worth it?, how well does it work? etc, allow me to elaborate.
The IS technology is built into the lens and using some clever trickery will help to stabilize the image when it is switched on, but the real question is, is it any good? In short I was amazed, here's what I did step by step so that any owners can try it out for themselves if they haven't already.
In the menu system navigate to the "Live View function settings" option and enable "Live View shoot"
Make sure the IS switch on the lens is on
Point the camera at a subject some distance away and press "Set". The LCD will now act as your viewfinder and you will be able to preview your shot.
Use the zoom button (top right of the back of the camera, a magnifying glass with a "+" in the middle) and press it twice. You are now previewing a 10 x digital zoom of your image.
Notice that it is virtually impossible to keep the image even remotely still.
Slightly depress the shutter release button and hold it.
Notice that after about 0.5 of a second the image becomes almost completely still and with a little effort (hold breath and use two hands, elbows wedged into chest) the image is almost rock solid.
I was very impressed with this. Admittedly this was on the 18 to 55 lens (I have a 300mm zoom on the way but not here yet) and so not exactly a long lens. Even so the effect is very noticeable and impressive.

I have a Canon Rebel XS. I want a good zoom lens with 200 to 300mm zoom. what should i get less than 200-250? I have the 18-55m kit now. I need a relatively good but not expensive zoom lens. Canon brand or any reliable brand. Also preferably with image stabilizer of some kind.
I listed a link below that will take you to a list of lenses from a search I did at B&H Photo's website.
You should take a good look at Tamron and Sigma lenses that fit your Canon. Tamron and Sigma are very respected independent lens makers and I have own both before and they have performed well for me. There appears to be some very good options for you that cost from $130 to $250 and zoom up to 25omm or 300mm.
Hope this helps.
