No. Sigma designates image stabilization with an 'OS' in the model name. The newer version of this lens does have it: http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-50-500mm-4-5-6-3-Telephoto-Canon/dp/B003980YK6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363364953&sr=8-1&keywords=Sigma+50-500mm

I think you mean "image stabilization"? Yes, it does have an image stabilization option. The lens has a fast aperture of f/1.8 (meaning the lens opens wide to let in a lot of light) which can enable shooting in low light conditions with a decent shutter speed such that image stabilization may not be as critical as on other cameras.

No it does not because it's a cinema camera but it does have amazing focus peaking features that work with every lens. Popular opinion is get the MFT mount but I disagree - you can never underestimate what Image Stabilization with lenses helps achieve.

I only shoot with Canon, however optical stabilization works the same pretty much across the board with any lens unlike Sony that has image stabilization built into the camera. The OS feature simply gives you one to two stops of stabilization. I read on Sigma website that this lens OS feature is not available on Pentax and Sony cameras and maybe it's due to both having image stabilization built in the camera.

Shelley M, Yes, optical image stabilization is included on this model - and this lens would support that. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

All the NEX models have NO built in image stabilization. Stabilization is built into the E-mount lenses.

Yes it does, but I recently dropped the lens and sent it to tamron for repair and was told that they would not repair it because it was a gray market lens(which means it was sold by a company that isn't one of their licensed distributors) and would have to get it repaired elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, it is a great lens for the price though.

Yes it does. Not the highest quality accessories though. But the lens itself has exceeded my expectations, very very good for the price.

1) Yes it does have image stabilization. If you look closely at the display picture on Amazon, you can see there is a "switch" for image stabilization right under the AF/MF focus switch.2) I do believe it is compatible with the Canon EOS 550D. I am judging by the fact that this is an EF-S lens and the 550D can mount that type of lens. If you go to Canon (http://www.canon-europe.com/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/Digital_SLR/EOS_550D/#p-specification22) you'll see under Specification >> Accessories, it lists that "All EF and EF-S lenses" are supported.Don't for get to mark that this was helpful, if it was :) good luck 1) Yes it does have image stabilization.

Yes, it does. In fact I'm selling mine but ONLY because I'm moving to a full frame sensor. It's unfortunate b/c there's really not a sharper wide angle lens than this one. I'll miss it for sure!

no, this lens is not image stabilized. it is a good lens, very sharp but quite pricey.

Image Stabilization (IS) is a feature associated with lenses. When looking at the Canon lenses if it has IS, it has image stabilization. The 7D does work with IS enabled lenses.

supposedly. it does not have anything in the menus so i don't think you can turn it off but p.148 in the manual says it has "lens-shift type optical stabilization"
