Canon DSLR Camera and Lens
I researched various digital cameras when I wanted to step up from my Kodak Easy Share "point and shoot" digital, which I do still love but wanted to broaden my photo abilities. I read articles, e-mailed friends, and even stopped people on the street with cameras to ask them the brand name and what they thought about their cameras. The Canon DSLR Rebel XTI came out ahead of all others, for simplicity in use, dependability of shots, lightweight, and price. I LOVE my Rebel XTI and it wasn't any time before I just had to order the the EF 70-300mm lens for even more zoom. Even I can't mess up all my photos! It's a great camera to be able to expand your abilities with interchangeable lenses, etc. Go for it!
Digital camera Review: Canon EF 70-300 IS USM--WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
My two cents' worth--I recently purchased thisCanon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras lens, primarily guided by Gustavo's review, since I like to do a lot of investigation, and simply didn't have time; I found he had already done the work for me. So, how's the lens? WOW--I'm impressed! Yes, as some reviewers note, there is a little noise from the stabilization, but I have not had it bother any wildlife I was attempting to photograph yet. And yes, the lens does get longer as it zooms, but compared to the price to step up to one that doesn't I'll happily deal with it; just requires paying attention. Some mention it's a bit heavy, but I don't find that to be a problem at all. The ability to shoot at full magnification with the Image Stabilization managing camera shake is amazing--got some shots of twin fawns on the dark edge of a woods while just resting my elbows on my truck--these shots would have been IMPOSSIBLE without a tripod with my old non-stabilized lens. In this situation, I really got the 3 stops of improvement they advertise. While nowhere near the build quality of my (really) old FD lenses [yes, I'm old too, just like my lenses :-)], this lens's quality is a step up from the less expensive (half the price)Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Zoom LensI was considering, which is similar in quality to the 18-55 that came with my T2i. I'm glad I spent the extra money. In short, I would highly recommend this lens. BTW, in my opinion, if you can't afford the extra bucks, don't be afraid of the 55-250; should last a long time if you don't abuse it.
One note: there is an older Canon 70-300 lens, which brings much poorer reviews--don't confuse the old one with the current one.

The EF 70-300 IS USM is a superb lens. I'm using it for sports and birding. Crisp. Focuses fast enough for US soccer. Have only used it in daylight. Haven't tried under lights yet. Easily images the goal from the half. Highly recommend it as an affordable alternative to the L series lenses.Digital camera Review: Canon EF 70-300mm

This lens is outstanding. I am a rookie mom taking football pictures for my freshman son's games and the photos I have been able to get are great. I am in the stands and my pictures look like I am right next to the players. I can see their eyes in some photos.
I bought my camera at Best Buy but found that Amazon had the best price for lens and memory cards
Great lens package.
