Is the Canon RF-S 18-150mm lens good for travel?

Yes — the Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM is a very good travel lens for Canon APS-C mirrorless cameras like the EOS R7, R10, R50, and R100.

Its 18–150mm zoom range is very versatile for travel, covering wide shots, street scenes, portraits, and distant subjects without needing frequent lens changes. On Canon APS-C bodies, that’s roughly a 29–240mm full-frame equivalent field of view.

Why it works well for travel:

• Lightweight and compact, at about 310g (10.9 oz), so it’s easy to carry all day.
• Optical image stabilization helps for handheld shots.
• Useful close-focus ability for food, details, and casual close-ups.

Main tradeoffs:

• The aperture is relatively slow, reaching f/6.3 at the long end, so it’s not ideal for low light without higher ISO or a steady hand.
• It is not the best choice for full-frame bodies, since those cameras will crop to APS-C mode with this lens.
• It is not a low-light specialist, so for indoor or night travel, a faster prime or zoom may be better.

If your goal is a single do-everything lens for sightseeing and general travel, it’s an excellent choice. If you need better low-light performance or shallower depth of field, consider pairing it with a fast prime.
