I think Photochick has previously stated that this is the one lens she warns everyone to stay away from. The image quality on the 55-250 is far superior.

Its the 75-300 from Canon (the under $200 one) you want to run far, far away from. The 70-300 is a bit better optically and has IS but is still pretty slow.
