good job

An all around good product, this lens does exactly what it intends to do. Nothing amazing, but doesn't disappoint if you're looking for a standard medium zoom lens. Relatively light-weight, and quick and easy to put on.
Get what you pay for... in a good way

You can't drop $200 and change on an entry level telephoto and expect it to be the most stunning piece of equipment you've ever laid eyes on. In that regard, I think the 55-200 does remarkably well. A bit of a learning curve involved, as it's not the fastest lens in the land.
It performs very well for sporting events, especially in the day. Nighttime sports are a cinch to shoot as long as the field/stadium lights are above average.
I love it to bits, I wouldn't travel anywhere without it in my camera bag (at least until I put aside enough coin for a real heavy-hitter telephoto). :)

Excellent lens very fast and gets you up close and personal. I really like the color quality as well as the quick AF functionality. Highly recommend for anyone who is wanting nice closeups pictures while shooting from a distance.
For the price ...Just PERFECT!

The Canon EF 55-200mm II USM is definitly worth the price. Autofocus responds well at all focal lengths. (See my photos for ballgame action & family portraits)
Nice lens for the price

The Canon EF 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II USM is great lens for its price. I highly recommend this lens to those that have just gotten into using a DSLR camera.
