Digital camera Review: Canon 70-300 lens
Summary: 4 Stars
Got the Canon EF 70-300 mm with image stabilizer lens for my Kenya safari. I'm quite satisfied with it and got great pictures of wildlife, but wished I had gotten a more powerful one - something like a 400.The 400 is way out of my budget; and if I had gotten that I would have wished for something even more powerful.
Some of my pictures zoomed to the max do not appear to be as focused; not sure if I did not do something right or a shortcoming of the lense itself.
The image stabilizer is great; I'll never be able to do without it from now on.

This lens was purchased to get closer views at sporting events. It does everything I hoped it would do. At near maximum zoom it filled the frame with the action. I recently attended an Indy car race. I could shoot the cars right across from me very well and get decent shots of the cars across the track. The image stabilization gave excellent clarity even at maximum zoom. The AF focus point on your Canon SLR may need to be narrowed. Occasionally the camera autofocus would lock onto the guard rail or fence post rather than the car. A little experimentation with the camera adjustment will allow you to use this lens in a predictable manner. The weight and balance is good. I had no hand fatigue from using it all day.Digital camera Review: Canon 70-300mm IS Lens

This is a terrific lens, my new favorite. IS is an excellent feature; I wish all my lenses had it. Even with a 2X Teleconverter on, it is rock steady viewing and shooting. My images are sharp as a tack with great contrast and color. I'd have to pay three times this much to get any better telephoto images.Digital camera Review: Canon 70-300mm IS Lens - Excellent Stabilized Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned many cameras and lens over 3 decades. My copy of the Canon 70-300mm IS lens is an excellent performer. It has a reasonable build quality, is capable of sharp photos under most conditions and the stabilization and focus are fast and very reliable. I use mine with a 30D body and find the combination excellent for shooting outdoor action shots and indoor shots with reasonable lighting.
The lens focuses pretty fast and in fairly low light and has provisions for stabilization when panning.
This is hard to beat. I owned the predecessor and this one is worth the upgrade.

I purchased this lens to go with my Canon XSI camera. So far the lens is all what I expected. It's movements are very quick and smooth. The AF is really fast especially on moving targets. I would buy this lens again.
