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

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

If your question is about Image Stabilization. The lens does not have this feature.

This camera does have optical image stabilization per Imaging-Resource's review "Maximum aperture starts off at a f/3.2, and falls to f/5.8 by the tele position. Optical image stabilization is included in the design." You may have to turn it on in one of the options in the menu.

Yes, it does. But plan to purchas a filter to protect the lens. It's my most used and most versatile lens. Great choice.

It does not. It is a fixed focal length prime lens. It's takes superb shots

No it is not an image stabilizer lens. For the money it is a great everyday lens. I have had some trouble with it on auto focus at 250mm. I would still recommend the lens.

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

This lens does not have built-in stabilization. I don't believe that NEX-7 does either.

No stabilization. However, you would not really need it unless you are planning on shooting with very small apertures, in which case I'm not sure why one would buy this lens. This is an absolutely phenomenal lens BTW.

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

No, with the dx format(40mm x 1.5) it is equivalent to a 60mm (35mm film format); which is considered a normal focal length lens.The special thing about this is lens is that you can get real close up. It is super sharp and takes great close up portraits as well as allowing you to take close ups of flowers jewelry and the usual stuff you might like to look at up close.No image stabilization :( but a bright f2.8

My only issue is that it has everything I want in a lens... except image stabilization. As I mentioned elsewhere, shallow DOF is the provenience of medium telephotos and up, so you get a bright wide-angle lens for tricky low-light situations where image stabilization can come in handy.
