Even if you don't shoot video, the STM lenses are better for still photography because of:

1) Non-rotating front elements

2) Incredibly fast AF

3) Silent AF

4) Full-Time manual focus (while shutter is half-pressed)

5) Better Image Quality

6) Nice EW-63C petal hood on the 18-55 STM (also fits the 55-250 STM)
