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

Digital camera Review: Very good picture quality, silent and fast. Unbeatable for the price. Image stabilization is awesome.
Summary: 5 Stars

First off, this lens works wonderfully with Canon's 20D, 30D and 5D. The image stabilization gives the photographer a serious edge. In my experience, when the IS is active, I'm able to shoot at a much lower speed, without having any blurring. Throughout the range of the lens, image sharpness is excellent, although a little soft when you zoom near 300. Otherwise, from 75 to 280 aprox. image quality is astonishing. I have shot at weddings, sport events, low-light conditions and very in cold climate conditions and the lens performed flawlessly. The ability of focussing manually is a plus. Automatic focus is always accurate. Just a few times in more than 3000 shots has the lens slowed a bit when focusing, but I must say that the objets were moving. The weight of the lens is ok, not too heavy, construction seems according to Canon standards. When shooting in particular situations, the silent USM mechanism is really a welcome feature. Overall, a very nice lens for the serious and amateur photographer.

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

This telephoto IS (Image Stabilizer) zoom lens is the world's first interchangeable lens for SLR cameras that incorporates an Image Stabilizer. It provides a camera-shake blur correction effect equal to an increase of two steps of shutter speed, greatly expanding the range of handheld photography even with slow-speed film and under low light or other difficult conditions. Shutter speed of 1/30 sec is equivalent to 1/125 sec with IS.There are six lens groups in this lens, of which the second is the IS group, moving to prevent image blurring, caused by camera shake. Level of camera shake is detected by vibration detecting gyro sensors. The optical performance features high-resolution and high-contrast definition that is the true hallmark of EF lenses. With wide focusing ring and zoom ring, its operability is outstanding. A micro USM (Ultrasonic Motor) in the drive system ensures silent AF.
