It is a fantastic lens: Sharp, great contrast, and did I mention sharp? :-) The image stabilisation is fantastic, I don't think I could get a lens without it again! Shooting at 50mm means that you need to have your shutterspeed set to about 1/50s (actually even quicker if you have a crop sensor camera.). With VC turned on, you can take a shot at 50mm at 1/10s without an issue. I have the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 VC. It is a fantastic lens: Sharp, great contrast, and did I mention sharp? :-)

But it all comes down to price. If you can still wait, I would suggest you stick with your 18-55mm is for a few more weeks or months and save up, at least that's what I always do, when you have the funds, then it's time to upgrade. With regards to flash, I use the 430ex II. I'm also considering on getting a the Yongnuo YN 467 for my second flash, the specs looks impressive and it supports ttl, I'm also looking at the Lumopro LP 160 and Yongnuo YN-560 which is rated to equal the power of the Canon 580 EX II and the Canon SP 900, but these two flashes are manual and doesn't support ttl.

Do I really need VC? I am a casual photographer just pictures of family/friends and random landscape. I've been debating or should I stay with my 18-55 IS and get a flash. I am also in the market for a flash either a yonguo yn-467 or a nissin di622. Suggestions and advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Almost all stabilized lenses behave that way. It's not actually shake, it's the VC feature that kicks in everytime you press the shutter. You probably don't notice it much on the EF-s 18-55mm IS kit lens, it's probably because there isn't much glass in it. I also experience this on the EF 70-200mm F/2.8L IS MK 1, EF 70-200mm F/4L IS USM, and my EF 28-135mm F/4-5.6 IS USM. Don't worry your lens is not defective, it's a normal behaviour of all stabilized lenses. Like what i said, when you noticed the shake which is not actually a shake but a shift, it means the vc/os/is/vr feature of the lens has been activated and a shift in the gyro mechanism has happened. Image stabilized lenses has this thing they call gyroscopic sensors, which detects motion these gyro's(not the one we eat(;-) ensure the image stays more stable during the process of taking photos.

I notice the lens shake during refocus if I leave VC on, and it happens ONLY if I turn on VC. It doesn't happen if I turn off VC function. It seems not affect the photo outcome, but just see lens shake if it refocuses. Do you see same behavior or I just got a defective product? Thanks for your advise.
