You should also consider Canon kit 18-55 STM version.

It's super sharp than previous models. I found it much better in terms of center and corners sharpness as compared to Tamron 17-50 (non-vc). Better colors too.

There was a time when Tamron was better performing than Canon kit 18-55 (earlier versions) but IMHO STM version should not be ignored for its excellent sharpness, light weight and low price as well.

Tamron has not updated its 17-50 model while Canon has been further improving on the kits lens in the past few years.

I recently sold 17-50 after acquiring 18-55 STM.
