It is a great lens. Much better than the kit lens 18-55 II. You have f/2.8 for all the range from 17mm to 55mm. Addition with IS, you can get a sharp photo even in low light condition. This makes it a great general lens. It stays on my 400D most of the time. Only change it when prime lens or longer focal length is needed.
I still did not see any dust after 3 months usage. Canon must have done something on new release. :D

It is heavy with 400D. However, it does performing very well. I use it with WhaleTail Flash Diffuser (clone). The result is great.

Pros:
|
Light weight, good control layout, excellent image quality
|
|
Cons:
|
Under expose, small grip, no spot metering
|
|
This is my first SLR. Too bad that my copy has under expose issue. Therefore, I need to adjust most of the photo. Will send to repair soon. :P
The image quality is good when pair with high quality lens. I love it with pair with 50mm 1.4. The images are sharp.
Overall, I am happy with it. Will be happier if no under expose issue. =)
