Hi. 1. Does it also have Image Stabilizer feature? 2. Is it compatible with Canon EOS 550D? Thanks

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 &gt;&gt; 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

In practice, it means your ISO needs to be a bit higher than it would with a stabilized lens in some cases. It's certainly not a deal breaker for me.I find that the stabilization with the EM5 is helpful at times, but it doesn't do anything to help with motion blur from moving subjects for example. The gm1 is the camera I reach for most often and the lack of stabilization isn't really even a consideration for me.

Hi Craig J., I don't know if it has image stabilization. I returned it the same week. The closure on the lens would not open properly, after only taking one picture. I did some research and found out it was a common problem with this particular nikon camera.

It is compatible! there is a firmware update that needs to take place. Call or email their customer service line. They are extremely helpful. They're very friendly and I'm confidente they'll resolve your issue.http://support.eye.fi/cameras/canon/eos-1d_mark_ii

Hi D. Scuderi, This feature is in the Alpha A-mount camera body. The SAL18250 lens does not have the image stabilization feature. Hope this helps. - Omar

no, this lens is not image stabilized. it is a good lens, very sharp but quite pricey.

This can work with most DSLRs, however the more items you add will make the rig bend/flex at it's joints. I was using my Canon 7D + 28-135mm with an H4N Zoom and that's what I experienced after an hour or so. It's not the most ergonomically-correct piece of stabilizing equipment, but for a run-n-gun budget-friendly rig, the price is right.

The timer is compatible with my canon rebel T2i so if canon lists the same timer for both that and your 550D then yes it should work. The timer will send an impuls to your camera to take a picture at an interval. By doing this, you take a large series of photographs. It's then up to you to put them together to make a time laps video. I downloaded a free app from the App Store to do this. It's called Zeitraffer. Once it's a video you can use it in any video editing software like iMovie to add a sound track.

It does not have optical image stabilization but does have digital stabilization. For a cam with optical image stabilization you are going to have to spend more $.

Then lens is not image stabilized; I don't own a Canon EOS 50D, so cannot authoritatively address the second question.

Mine has a Nikon mount - but, no, it did not come with image stabelization. Your focal lengths are short enough that paired with an appropriate shutter speed, you should get crisp shots. Or, when in doubt, use a tripod. Not having that feature is one of the reasons it was cheaper

I think there are 2 - with and without optical stabilization. I have the one without OS which works just fine on a tripod for wildflowers (you don't use OS with a tripod anyway). The 150 mm focal length is a little much to use for handheld macros anyways IMHO! A very sharp optic.

How much better is the Image Stabilization? I have a Lumix FZ28 thanks. Bill

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.

The lack of image stabilization makes taking zoom photos a bit more challenging. A monopod can help that situation. Otherwise the lens works very well. I use it with a EOS 10D.

It has an image stabilizer but I don't know if it is an advanced image stabilizer. I do know that I absolutely love the videos I take with this camera. I use it all the time and it has never disappointed me. Even videos in the house come out great. I have tried other brands and JVC is the only one I would ever buy again.
