this lens does not have image stabilization. however, the canon 100mm f2.8l (make sure you're looking at the "L" series one) has great image stabilization. however, it's $1,000.00. :-(

Do you intend on doing a lot of macro work? Don't forget that the 1.6 crop factor will make your 100 a 160. Prefer the EF-s 60mm F2.8 on my 7d. Good macro, great portrait lens.

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM 1-to-1 Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR CamerasHello:I am a Canon newbie and have recently bought my starter equipment. I bought the T1i Canon kit that I found on the amazon.com site. I have now begun to shop for a macro lens and am considering the one indicated by the link. It appears to have the IS feature which is what I was looking for. After reading the reviews, the only negative thing that I have noticed was the price! I suppose you get what you pay for. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM 1-to-1 Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR CamerasHello:I am a Canon newbie and have recently bought my starter equipment.

This lens will work with any Canon DSLR Rebel, and does NOT have I.S. The only Canon prime lenses(non-zooming) that have I.S. are super telephoto...300-600mm.

I can't speak from personal experience as I own neither this lens nor the Rebel XSi, but from what I've been reading and based on the images of this lens provided by Amazon, this lens does not have built-in image stabilization. However, it appears that the EF-S lens mount is compatible with the XSi, according to Wikipedia. You can take it for what it's worth, but I'm almost certain that this lens will work with the XSi.

Not much has been said about whether or not the 'improved' image stabilization is actually improved that much. I have the FZ28 and at 18X it can be a little shaky. Has anyone found it improved in the FZ35?

Ok, great info as usual! I'm not going to be taking many close up "macro" type shots or shots with focused forground objects w/ blurred backgrounds to start off, and I really like the 24-105 f/4 L IS lens, would that be probobly the best "walk around" lens for the XSi then? Also, can a 2.8 lens take landscape / scenic shots where the foreground and background are both in focus? I am confused about that with the f# & lenses.The night railroading shots I posted before are a main priority and I have seen some excellent night / low light posted images under the 24-105 f/4 L IS lens here on Amazon.I have a question on the 50D kit lens quality but I'll try to post that under the 50D discussions. Thanks again for all your input. Ok, great info as usual!

Hi Alex,Your Canon XS Rebel camera will definitely work with the Canon EF-S 18-135mm Lens. The following is from the Amazon web site description of your camera model. "The EOS Rebel XS is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF and EF-S lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses." I have the lens in question and I use it with a Canon XSi Rebel camera which is the camera version right after yours with no problems. I hope this helps.Michael

Yes, the camera does not have "In Body" image stabilization, but the lens included in this kit does have image stabilization (called OSS by Sony). In fact, most Sony E lenses for this camera have image stabilization (the Zeiss ones do not have OSS).

The 20-50 mm lens does not have stabilization; however some of the accessory lens does have that feature. I have been using my NX2000 for about a month, I like it, and the images it produces are very good. Mine does not have stabilization and I compensate by using the carrying strap around my neck, while holding the camera out in front with my arms slightly out stretched. This stabilizes the camera giving me an image that is clear and steady. Bob Kelley Jasper, Ga

I don't know the xsi specifically, but if it is a digital SLR then I would be amazed if it didn't, since a cornerstone of Canon's marketing is that lenses are interchangeable amongst all of their cameras. I still have lenses from the analog days that fit on my eos rebel Ti camera.

Hi Technology Guy,I liked you responses to the questions asked by fellow buyers. You may find me moron asking this but I searched quite a bit on google but did not get any definite answer. Could you help me decide if it is wise to buy T3i (600D) with "Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens" and do not buy "EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens"? OR if I need to have both lenses to start with. Thanks in advance.

As you already found out, no it doesnt support Image Stabilization but a higher ISO does sharpen the image in the most of the situations where pictures would normally come out blurry (low light). It's pretty hard to blur an picture in bright light if you are fairly still and have the object in focus.

I'm also trying to decide if the Canon XS or XSI is right for me. I own the original 6.1mp Canon digital Rebel slr and am wondering if now is a good time to upgrade? I used to shoot primarily landscapes while traveling, but am doing more portraits now that I have kids. The Digic III processor definitely caught my attention, but I'm wondering how much of a difference in the cameras will I notice?

There's no image stabilization, but none is necessary with a lens this wide...in my opinion. FYI, it's a marvelous lens with tack-sharp results at all apertures.

Yes, some of the lens elements need to move in order to provide the image stabilization. Once power is applied, the image stabilization takes control of those floating elements to provide the in-lens image stabilization. This is perfectly normal.Hope that helps,Sean

No. Canon does offer one with image stabilization, but it is several hundred dollars more expensive. You can google Canon lenses & see it & read its specs.

I have had both versions of the lens and definitely preferred the one with IS. With that said, the difference in price is significant and the non-stabilized version produces superb images. If you are shooting outdoors with plenty of light it is perfect. If light is an issue when shooting I would definitely save up for the IS version.

No it does not because it's a cinema camera but it does have amazing focus peaking features that work with every lens. Popular opinion is get the MFT mount but I disagree - you can never underestimate what Image Stabilization with lenses helps achieve.
