Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I was thinking about getting a 70-200MM f/2.8 or f/4 IS. I decided on this because of price and weight (very light, can carry for hours). Works great. What ever you decide GET AN IS lens. Trying to hold still at 200mm+ is very hard and even more difficult to get a non blurry image. I was a little concerned about getting good blur @ f/4-5.6, no worries.
Cons: When zooming, lens extends, though has zoom lock
Not all that fast, if your shooting sports get something faster
Minim focus distance is almost 5 feet, that's a lot, can be annoying.
Customer Review: Love this Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this lens about a month ago. I was concerned of the reports I read that it was not well made and that there was excessive motor noise compared to other Canon USM lenses. Well, recently I took it up to the Canadian Rockies to do some wildlife photography and it performed admirably. No bothersome noise. Well made, just the same build quality as the standard lens that came with my 40D. The picture quality at 300mm is excellent. I'm very pleased with this lens and think its great for amateur photographers looking for a versatile zoom lens in the ~$550 range.Customer Review: One of the best lenses out there & a great price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I owned this lens for quite a while, sold it, and am going to re-purchase it at this great price. It takes fantastic, sharp pictures in very low light situations (such as at the zoo, in one of the "houses"), great sports pictures and much more. I have shot super clear, beautiful animal pictures at 1/25th of a second, due to image stabilization. I think at about $460, this lens is a steal. Rather than writing a long, boring review, click here to see just one of the animal pictures that I shot with this lens: http://eyefetch.com/image.aspx?ID=575247Customer Review: solid lens so far
Summary: 5 Stars
Having only used the lens for a few weeks, I have not had that many opportunities to see limitations, but overall the lens seems to do all that I could have asked of it. The autofocus seems to be very fast and accurate. It is not a "l" series lens, but for the price and the focal length, it is able to capture action frames as fast as the Rebel xsi it is mounted on will cycle. I am very pleased with the performance of this lens so far and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an affordable way to outfit their digital SLR.Customer Review: Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens

I bought my Rebel XT two weeks ago, and instantly knew I needed zoom capabilities. This lens not only does that, but it does it well. The images are clear and crisp, and I was able to get very good action shots. This lens focuses on the subject crisp and crystal clear, and blurs the background evenly and smoothly. I have no doubts about this lens.
