Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

Digital camera Review: Works as designed.
Summary: 5 Stars

It's a great lens, and the USM motors really do help you focus a lot faster, but still not quite as fast as the smaller lenses.

If you're zoomed all the way in to 250-300mm, you're really going to notice the missing image stabilization (which this lens doesn't have). If you're zoomed in that far, you're going to get some blur even at fairly high shutter speeds. But shooting outside in daylight, I never shoot with a tripod, and I get plenty of keepers.

A good lens, well worth the money. However, if you have the money to spare, a lens with both USM motors and image stabilization will definitely be better, though also much more expensive.

Summary of Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

Compact and lightweight 4x telephoto zoom lens ideal for shooting sports, portraits, and wildlife. The newly developed Micro USM makes autofocusing quicker and quieter. The improved zoom mechanism also makes zooming smoother. The front part of the zoom ring now sports a silver ring for a luxury touch.
This compact and lightweight EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens is ideal for shooting sports, portraits, and wildlife. The lens is distinguished by a newly developed micro ultra-sonic monitor (USM) that makes autofocusing quicker and quieter, along with an improved zoom mechanism that includes a silver ring on the front for a luxurious touch. The micro USM makes this version of the lens particularly suitable for applications that require a fast autofocus, such as sporting events or wildlife shoots. Best of all, the USM version shares many of the same features that makes the non-USM lens so popular, such as a compact size, a close focusing range, and accessory compatibility. As with all Canon lenses, this unit carries a one-year warranty.
