I want to but a Canon 1100D, but I have no idea between these kits:

Canon 1100D IS Canon 1100D IS II

The site is in Germany, so I couldn't understand very well, but when I tried to translate, I didn't see any difference.

Here is the IS:

And here is the IS II:

Thanks

EDIT

I'm sorry, the links was not working, but now they are.

The second one gets you the newer version of the kit lens. Both have the same zoom range, aperture, min focus distance, filter size, etc.

The new version (II) has a improved version of the stabilizer and automatically recognizes motion in the panning direction.

The IS II version has cosmetic changes in order to reduce costs such as a painted, not plastic moulded, lens mount alignment mark. There are no changes to the optical formula or Image Stabilizer. See Canon Rebel T3i / EOS 600D Hands-on Preview at DPreview.

  • See http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/about_canon?pageKeyCode=pressreldetail&docId=0901e0248028433f - Towards the bottom there is a clear paragraph saying the contrary. This answer should be voted down but with a reputation of 1, lets let it pass with a warning ;) I'll leave it up to you to check your sources next time. – Itai Mar 29 '11 at 02:50
  • @Itai: I'll make sure that the source is accurate. I've always considered DPreview as reliable, but in the future, I'll confirm with the primary source where available. – bwDraco Mar 29 '11 at 03:05
