Rating  - A little overrated
I owned this lense for about a year and it does take nice, clear pictures. It is also a handsome lense with a strong, sturdy build that is still very light. However, it certainly has its flaws. First off, the barrel distortion at 10 - 12mm is almost completely unbearable if you trying to take a picture representative of what you are seeing. It flattens out the scene considerably making objects - like people - look one dimensional. Women - it straight up makes you look fat. This especially noticeable in subjects in the foreground of your pictures like: people, trees, rocks, even houses etc. Secondly, there is a considerable amount of chromatic aberrations when shooting landscape photography in the mid and background ranges. There are green and red lines around trunks of trees and outlines of mountains.
I also own a Sigma 18-200 and I am not saying Sigma make the same quality of lense as Canon, but that lense if particular took just as good as pictures for about a 1/3 less of the price. There is no doubt in my mind - of the ones I've use - I can say the majority of Canon lenses are considerably overpriced, but I go with them because there doesn't seem to be a better options for those who demand high optical quality and have a discerning eye. In the future I may consider a switch to Nikon, but kudos to Canon for providing absolutely outstanding customer service in product support.
Rating  - great lens
I'v bought it for panorama pictures, great one!!!!!!! I've Rebel XT it shoots great pics just the amazing difference coooool, but the crop factor 1,6 make them a little bit smaller than on 5D but anyway I recomend recomend and recomend!!!
Rating - Great Fun!
You will often hear others say that this lens is fun, and I totally agree with that. I may not know how to best use an ultrawide, but it has not stopped me from having fun with this lens.
Distortion is a problem with any lens this wide, but there are ways to manage it. It's not your ideal lens for shooting people (although usable at the long end) but great for indoors, landscape and groups. It's also the only one where I can get usable shots shooting blind (just raise it over your head and shoot type of shots).
My only regret is not getting this lens sooner. It's an expensive toy, but if you can afford it, you can take lots of fun shots with it.
Rating - Canon Wide Angle EFS 10-22
Thrilled with the performance on this product. I only object to the fact that the lens hood costs extra. This is part of the product. Otherwise very pleased with this.
Rating - High quality and very useful lens
This is a fantastic lens, as everyone else here has already said. It's too bad that it's not a little faster at 22mm, but that's only a minor issue. At the wide end (10mm), you'll definitely get some fisheye effect, but this can play very well if you know how to use it.
If you're looking for a very distinct fisheye look, consider the Canon 15mm fisheye, which is also a great piece of glass. Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
