Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II 55-250mm

68.6 Professional Score
55-250mm f/4 Canon EF-S IS
Why we recommend this

A 4-stop Image Stabilizer and a UD-glass element in a 391g body give this 55-250mm f/4-5.6 lens (effective 88-400mm on APS-C) a strong reach-to-portability ratio. Its low price point and compact build make telephoto photography accessible without the bulk of faster L-series glass. This lens is best for budget-focused Canon APS-C DSLR owners who want a lightweight zoom for casual wildlife, sports, or outdoor event photography.

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM 10-22mm

53.1 Professional Score
10-22mm 22-27 Canon EF-S
Why we recommend this

With an ultra-wide 10-22mm zoom (16-35mm equivalent) and a fast, quiet ring-type USM autofocus, this lens weighs just 385g, making it ideal for travel. Its 3 aspherical elements and 1 Super-UD element deliver sharp, detailed images across the frame, though the f/3.5-4.5 aperture limits low-light performance. Best for landscape and travel photographers seeking a compact, high-optics wide-angle zoom for Canon APS-C bodies.
