Hello there,
Recently I've bought a Canon 650D with a start kit lens EF-S 18-55 IS II.
I'm looking for a Telelens for in the near future and these are the ones I found:
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS €285
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II €149
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM €279
But does any know the difference between IS and IS II or should I just go for the STM ?
I mainly use it for taking picture, but I might record some video's as well.
bad news is kit lens EF-S 18-55 downright sucks. you can give that away to your dog or keep it for a rainy day
THat is rubbish. The old non IS was bad, but the EF-S 18-55 IS II is in the same class as the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
The 55-250 IS II is a solid lens .. goes for around 299 new in the US and you can pick up a refurbished one for around $150. Great deal.
however if you are thinking about doing any video at all .. You will want to get the STM version .. without STM lens the video picks up nasty autofocus noises .. The STM lenses with stepper motors are designed to keep the lenses quiet during auto focusing plus the 250 STM is newer and slightly better.
