Na also geht doch ! Obwohl der Test schon länger online ist, freut es sicher jeden Conon User jetzt endlich ein brauchbares Kit-Objektiv zu bekommen.

Schade, daß das Gehäuse (50D) jetzt nix mehr taugt ...

hat das 18-55 IS nochmals an der 50D getestet:

im Vergleich dazu der erste Test des Objektivs an einer 350D

Also, an der 50D kann man auch mit dem Kit-Objektiv durchaus schon etwas anfangen, auch wenn die Sensorauflösung nicht erreicht wird.

Fazit: http://www.photozone.de/canon-eos/404-canon_1855_3556is_50d?start=1

The resolution capabilities of the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is amazing even based on the EOS 50D. The lens resolution may no longer reach the limits of the sensor resolution (as it did on the EOS 350D) but the quality level remains very high throughout the zoom range. Even more surprising is the evenly high corner to corner performance. So is it a perfect lens then ? No, naturally not. It has its weaknesses - notably strong barrel distortions at 18mm and very high vignetting at 18mm @ f/3.5. Chromatic aberrations are well controlled at the extreme ends of the zoom range but quite pronounced around 28mm. In the field the lens struggles in contra light situations whereas the bokeh (out-of-focus blur) is pretty good within the limits of its depth-of-field capabilities. All-in-all the optical aspects are impressive and that's not only regarding the low price tag. The image stabilizer is quite efficient with a real world "gain" equivalent to about 3 f-stops. On the mechanical side things aren't so rosy. Canon changed the cosmetics of the lens and it certainly "looks" better now but the actual implementation has only been marginally improved compared to the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II. The plastic quality (down to the lens mount) spoils the subjective quality perception quite a bit. The inner lens tube does still wobble significantly and accurate manual focusing remains next to impossible. However, the AF speed and accuracy is very decent and that's probably good enough for most users anyway. The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is certainly a value king with a price tag of around 160€/US$.
