Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Canon Zoom Lense
Summary: 4 Stars
The Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras does pretty much everything I wanted it to do with the exception of taking action shots. It's a little slow for shots with a lot of movement. However, I recently took a head shot of my Drum Horse "Oreo" at the state fair from about 30 yards away and I was in awe of the result. I have since blown up and framed the shot and now have it hanging in my office. The pros for this lense far outweigh the cons.Digital camera Review: Canon lens

Digital camera Review: Cheap, but you need skills & monopod
Summary: 4 Stars
This review is for beginners, because intermediates and pros already know the capabilities and limitations of the entire EF line. I am a beginner and just went through building up a complete XS system with the kit zoom, 50MM F1.8 and this zoom lens. I bought this lens, because I kept the total cost of the bag to the absolute minimum. At first I was disappointed with the sharpness, especially at over 200MM. I then bought a Bogen Digital Monopod and a tilt head and that fixed 75% of the sharpness issue. As long as you don't go over 200MM, it is possible to get some excellent sports photos with this lens if you use all the tricks (pre-focusing, monopod with tilt head, isolated trigger press, center set focusing point, high shutter-speed priority, good sunlight, burst mode, timing, positioning, etc.) This lens is adequate for shooting the kids' games and related human interest. The other parents think the photos are fantastic, but they are pretty easy to please. I am planning to upgrade to the 70-200 F4L USM as soon as the economy turns around so I can get better sharpness, use the ring, and put on a battery pack (these are the major weaknesses of this 75-300 lens). If you are trying to keep the cost down and can compromise on sharpness, then this is a good choice. It is unbelievably inexpensive for the quality of the photos you can potentially get with it. This lens is perfectly fine for a beginner. If you outgrow it, sell it on ebay and move up to the L.
