Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: A Starter Lens With IS!
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this up with my first 350d, and was very happy with it. I since purchased a whole bevy of lenses and sold this to another happy user:)Digital camera Review: A bargain telephoto zoom lens
Summary: 4 Stars
This lens is a bargain, excellent resolution, easy and fast to use, image stabilization (two modes), and at a price dramatically less than other Canon tele zoom lenses, albeit this is a stop or two "slower" lens, f/4.0-5.6 instead of f/2.8 and such. But, for the number of times I need a lens this long, I found it a great choice. A pro will want faster lens but for many if not most folks, this is a great choice. The IS is a great feature for a lens this long.
I found the image stabilizer noisy, not annoyingly so but clearly louder than my other Canon IS zoom lens, which is perfectly silent. I took it to Canon and they were also concerned but then they tried some others of the same lens that they had on hand and they were all noisy, so we concluded that that's the way this model is.
Digital camera Review: A budget telephoto
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm brand spanking new to DSL's and took a big plunge with a 400D XTi. I wanted a telephoto; probably more for braggen rights and when I went looking for a telephoto having the 'IS' for Image Stabilizer, something with reach and most importantly looks cool (about 7" long by itself)...well, I had to be realistic about a budget and got this one. As far as quality-hey it's Canon which means pretty good stuff. I rated it at 4 cuz I've not used it yet but for the price? Well, it's either one like this or about a 1000 buck's more. I don't think it's going to see that tick on an elk at 5 miles but it brings those duck's up closer than my point a shoot which seems to always look farther away. Still a bit pricey for us DSL newbies but it's got the all the right stuff for a starter telephoto, in my opinion.Digital camera Review: A cut above...
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally had the Canon EF 75-300 USN III lens and was quite happy with it. When I purchased my 50D, it came with a 17-85mm IS lens, and ladies and gentlemen: IS spoils you. Being able to shoot virtually two or three stops down is quite handy when you are a steady photographer. I am happy to say that this lens is no exception and is slightly faster than my previous lens.
I whole-heartedly recommend!
Digital camera Review: A good option for telezoom.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you need a telezoom, this lens is a good option. Fast focus, two IS mode and good sharpness. I am not a professional, but I recommend.
