Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM
Canon's 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM lens is a step up from the average telephoto zoom. Canon also makes a much cheaper 75-300mm, but the lens tested here is designed for photographers looking for a step up in both build and picture quality – and this lens has an image stabiliser.

Reach out and shoot something.
For an amazing telephoto zoom, with terrific image quality and amazing build quality, look no further than the all around performer that is the Canon 70-300L
Pros:
- Amazing build quality
- Stunning image quality
- Fast and accurate AF
- Rock solid IS
Cons:
- Canon doesn't provide a tripod collar with the lens
- you have to buy it after

Nice lens
This lens has an auto and manual setting for focus adjustments and the adjustments give a good blur effect to the image, very nice lens indeed, very good to have this.

Impressed
I had bought a Canon Rebel T3i just after Christmas....I took it on my vacation in Jan/13 and was very impressed with the quality of the pics....but I wished I had the EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6IS USM telephoto lens for the distance shots that I missed...

overall good lens
I love this lens. The bokeh is nice and the zoom distance is great. My only issue is that when zoomed all the way max the focus is not as sharp as I would like.

Great lens and price
When I purchased my 7D, I also picked this lens up for some wildlife and nature photography. With the cropped sensor, 300mm is close enough for animals that don't want to eat you... I'm impressed. Images are pretty sharp and colorful.
Pros:
- Image stabilized
- Superior build quality
- Super-sharp images
Cons:
- Slow Auto-Focus

Versatile lens, Great for wildlife shots
I was looking for a lens that could take shots of wildlife from a distance. This lens certainly fits the bill and the IS helps in low light. I was also looking at the 100-400mm lens but the negative comments about its barrel focusing system pushed me towards this one.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy
- Poor in Low Light
