Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras

I am using this lense on a Canon Xsi and it is truely amazing. The pictures are so sharp and clear. I could not be happier with this purchase. It is a lot of money but well worth it. I love it!!!

Digital camera Review: An Amazing Lens
Summary: 5 Stars

Just returned from a trip to Hawaii and had the opportunity to put this lens to the test. I was very pleased with the results. This is a powerful lens, yet it is relatively light weight and not burdensome to use. I was able to get some really amazing wild life shots of birds, zooming in from a distance with a hand held camera (Canon EOS 20D) and virtually every shot was a keeper. The IS feature allows you to quickly zoom and compose your shot and fire it off and the image quality is excellent with sharp focus. Usually a lens this size with this much power requires a firm grip and almost always a tripod - not so with this one. I shot in both portrait and landscape mode and I didn't see any problems with focus, clarity or sharpness. All the images were clean and razor sharp. If you are looking for a long lens with the ability to bring in a distant shot without having to use tripods and other equipment, I highly recommend this lens for your arsenal.

Digital camera Review: Awesome Lens
Summary: 5 Stars

Just arrived and wasted no time in testing it on my T1i. No doubt that this is easily a fantastic lens. Loved the pictures taken with this lens. Though not as sharp as F4 70-200 L series lens at around 100-200 range.. but definitely sharp enough and worth the money. Strongly built body and a nice optics. The best part is the IS. Two way IS for vertical and horizontal stabilization. It really works. I tried both ways and it works like gem. I tried shooting the moon at night and result was fantastic. Another great plus is Bokeh is lovely. Spending almost 2 times more for L-series lens needs to be given a deep thought. This little monster is definitely worth the bucks. Solid investment.

Have used this lens from the deer stand while hunting, at sporting events (indoor and outdoor) and at concerts. Fast focusing and great image stabilization (IS does use quite a bit more power, though). Have not had one problem with it. Solid build and has a little heft to it. It is a bit pricey, but I chaulk that up to it being about the best on the market. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a top shelf lens.

Digital camera Review: Awesome Lens Great Price!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I had the 70-200 L F/4 usm without the IS, I returned that lens. Without IS it was not worth keeping for me, to many blurry pictures(must be on a tripod) So I exchanged it for this 70-300 IS USM about the same price too. Love it!! Made it all worth while. It's pretty good at up close, not a macro lens. Great with 300mm, Clear and sharp at all ranges. nice walk around lens for me. Very Happy with this purchase.
