Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: AWESOME!!
Summary: 5 Stars
this lens is great. All of the functions work properly, and it is very easy to use. I would but it again and again!Digital camera Review: Able to zoom in really closely.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was debating on weather to get a regular SLR or to get a super zoom camera. I liked the quality of the SLR better but still wanted to get the super zoom capability. I love that I can get the close ups now of my kids in sports and in a program that they are in without having to sit in the first row.Digital camera Review: Absolutely the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely the best lens I have ever used! Color and saturation are excellent and the lens is sharper than any I've ever seen. Stabilization works great as does the auto focus. Highly recommended.Digital camera Review: Amature takes picture taking to new level
Summary: 5 Stars
The addition of the Canon EF70-300mm with IS lens to my purchase of the Rebel XTi body has allowed this very average amature picture taker to now call himself an up an coming amature photographer. The range and image quality of the lens along with with the IS feature are very forgiving, consistently providing clear, sharp, images. The lens is light enough for me to take it everwhere, even hanging from the strap over my neck. I now often leave the stock 18-55mm lens at home in favor of what is now my favorite.Digital camera Review: Amazing Lens!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little hesitant about spending this much on a lens, due to the fact it costs as much as my rebel xs, but I am sure glad I went for it! I've taken some amazing shots of the moon, dragonfly's, and birds, that I never though possible! Its a really great lens for wildlife, and general outdoor shooting because of its range, but as I got used too it I really began to want more than 300mm...L series here I come!!
As far as sharpness at 300mm, images still look extremely sharp. The autofocus works well, but I couldn't get a beep from my camera at 300mm? My only real complaint is the noise. The focusing makes a weird plastic rubbing against plastic noise, and it gets a little old. The Image stabilization, which by the way works amazingly, is also a little loud (high pitched whine). These are just minor complaints though, the lens really impressed me! One review on a photography website, called this lens a L series in disguise.
