Cons: cant really think of any at this price range
Pros: Love the range, very sharp, smooth operation, price, macro capability
Summary: much better lens than the kit lens for sure !! This is my carry around do anything lens. Its sharp and relatively fast at f2.8. The price is right too. I love that it offers macro as well, while it doesnt get to 1:1 it still works well in a pinch. Works well for landscapes and portraits. I'm growing quite fond of the Sigma line, the optics and colors achieved with thier product line is quite good for the money.

Cons: 1. no IS (or OS for that matter) 2. not HSM 3. a bit noisy but tolerable focusing system
Pros: 1. Compact and light weight 2. Great range 3. Macro capable 4. good build (actually better than I expected) 5. Versatile lens
Summary: This is a good lens to replace the kit lens, not only does it produce a bit better IQ than the kit, it also adds some more range. Very sharp when stepped down. Great IQ for its price. The jack of all trades but master of none. IQ, range, and compactness, nothing can beat it at this price range.
