A comparison of close-up photographs of a keypad with and without optical image stabilization.

Overall, these two lenses (Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens left, Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens right) are very similar physically. The most obvious physical difference between the lenses is the new grip pattern on the zoom ring (above right). This change gives the lens a nicer, higher quality feel. The 18-55 IS is slightly longer and has Canon's newer recessed-style switches for AF/MF and IS On/Off. The newer iS lens also has a closer macro focus of .25mm vs the .28mm of the older 18-55mm lens

Canon has maintained the position that image stabilization functions best when installed in the lens. According to Canon, "The advantages of IS in the lens are, first, that each IS system can be designed and optimized for its specific application, yielding a level of performance unattainable by the in-body, shifting sensor technique. Second, one can see the image stabilization effect in the finder. The image is steady; accurate framing is possible; the AF point can be placed precisely, and the photographer can concentrate on the shot and capture the best moment. Panning is also easier and more effective than with the in-body approach." With that understanding along with the popularity of IS, it is not surprising that Canon introduced an image stabilized version of the value-priced Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens currently included in many Canon DSLR kits
