I was wondering if the Canon EF-S 18-55mm III lens had any advantages above the EF-S 18-55mm IS II, which has image stabilizing. The III seems to be a newer version, but hasn't got stabilizing. Will this be a huge problem? I have seen awesome photos taken with the III, but I've also seen some motion blur on a post where they compared both lenses. I'm a beginning photographer, always using the Canon IXUS 220HS (PowerShot ELPH 300HS in America) which has stabilizing. 

The answer in [this post][1] suggests that the III has less chromatic aberration, but the block diagrams look exactly the same, except for the stabilizing part.

If this lens isn't any better than the IS II version, why would Canon want to replace the IS II with the III in kits?

Does somebody have experience with this lens?
