does this have image stabilization

No, it does not. I prefer the lower weight of a non-IS lens, and for doing high school sports (including night football), IS would be totally useless to me.

Yes, it has Image Stabilization, but even so do not use hand held at sloe speeds.

Image stabilization is a nice plus not a necessity. I use this lens a lot with great results. If the price is right go for it.

Not sure what "mechanically stabilized" means, but it does have optical image stabilization. What I can tell you is that I love the camera and actually took amazing pictures while riding on the back of a motorcycle on Tail of the Dragon...both stills and in movie mode.

The camera itself doesn't have an image stabilizer, yet the 18-55 mm lens does have an image stabilizer

Hi, this lens does not have image stabilization. I bought it because I needed a wide angle lens and the Sigma brand is a very good alternative to the expensive Canon lenses. Hope this helps answer your question.

I've read several posts/reviews that confirm that it has image stabilizer, but if it does, it is modest in effect; and, I suppose it should be, otherwise like YouTube's strong image stabilizer, the video can become very distorted looking with significant image stabilization.

No, there is no stabilization built into the lens, it is designed for use with the Olympus line of micro 4/3 cameras having image stabilization built into the camera body. Although, it will mount to any micro 4/3 mount camera, and can be used, but will not have image stabilization unless that feature is built into the camera body as with Olympus PEN and OMD lines of cameras.

No, therefore IN-camera stabilization is required. I am using on a Panasonic GX7 which does.

1) Yes it does have image stabilization. If you look closely at the display picture on Amazon, you can see there is a "switch" for image stabilization right under the AF/MF focus switch.2) I do believe it is compatible with the Canon EOS 550D. I am judging by the fact that this is an EF-S lens and the 550D can mount that type of lens. If you go to Canon (http://www.canon-europe.com/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/Digital_SLR/EOS_550D/#p-specification22) you'll see under Specification >> Accessories, it lists that "All EF and EF-S lenses" are supported.Don't for get to mark that this was helpful, if it was :) good luck 1) Yes it does have image stabilization.

yes, but it doesn't have image stabilization since Olympus m4/3's do that in the camera body while Panasonic does it in their lenses

This lens does not have image stabilization. However, you can shoot wide open at f1.8 to increase your shutter speed, and still get sharp sharp images. Hope this helps!

Only if you're using it for video. One can shoot without stabilization if on a tripod, steadycam or even possibly a monopod. Video shot handheld will be unwatchable. Still photography should be unaffected by the lack of image stabilization.

Sorry, the J28 doesn't have optical image stabilization. It just raises the shutter speed... and probably the ISO (giving you a noisier and more grainy image in the process). In general, any camera that offers "anti-blur mode" doesn't actually use optical or sensor based image stabilization.

NO it isn't very sharp and has no image stabilization built in. It's also not easy to change focus because the focus ring is tiny and not easily moved nor finely tuned.

No, it does not have image stabilization. The optics are far better than the kit lens and I've been very happy with the images.
