70-300mm
A bit too expensive than its tamron counterpart but they differ in quality. Amazing picture quality is given by this lens. Perfect zoom and sharp and fast focus. A nice lens to buy.

Great lens for the price.
I bought this lens years ago, but don't have the need to use it much. Reading reviews about poor focus at 300mm, I thought I would take a couple of shots. I shot this photo of a cedar fence at 20 ft at 300mm. I thought the IQ was very acceptable for this price lens.

I bought this because I do a bit of "birding" and I wanted a long lens. The non "L" version was a bit disappointing. This is substantially bulkier, and heavier but oh my, it is terrific!
Pros:
- Sharp as a tack
- good fast focusing
Cons:
- Big
- heavy
- (compared to non L version

Great Lens
If you're on a 1.3x or 1.6x crop body (the XTi for example) will give you 112-480mm, which is nice for the extra distance, however, if your wanting to be up with your family and friends and get full body shots you have to be standing quite far away.
Pros:
- Excellent image quality while not an L series lens with a wide aperture it still rocks in cloudy/low light conditions
- I've taken 2,000+ images with this lens and it has not let me down
Cons:
- Louder auto focus than other USM lenses, not by a lot though
- Autofocus hunts in lowlight at 300mm

Canon Image Stabilizer 70-300mm lens
Overall, I rate this lens very high. It is truly a superb lens. The zoom range covers a broad spectrum of abilities. The sharpness is incredible. The cost is very high, but you are playing for a name brand lens. Well worth the money spent!
Pros:
- The clarity
- the small size
- lightweight
Cons:
- The price

Great lens
The lens is amazing. The image stabilizer definatly helps clean up your shots. Also the lens can be locked at 70mm to prevent from sliding out. I was debating between this lens, and the 28-135 IS lens, but i choose this lens over it mainly for the longer zoom.
Pros:
- Image stabilizer
- Long range
- USM
Cons:
- Have to stand at least 5 feet away from subject to focus
