BEST IS BETTER November 29, 2008
Larry Kelley (Panoche Valley)
I OWN A CANON XSI REBEL DIGITAL AND THIS LENSE IS A GREAT PRODUCT, GOOD PICTURES, VERY CLEAR, WORTH EVERY CENT, AND MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER BRANDS THAT WILL FIT, BUT, DON'T WORK. YOU WON'T BE SORRY TO OWN ONE OF THESE.

great value, but you will desire more shortly November 29, 2008
Matthew Miller (Superior, WI)
well, everyone needs one.. and for many (including myself) this is the first step in the telephoto road. yes, the value is there, and for the casual photographer that "just needs a telephoto", this will work out.

what you will soon discover is that with a aperture of 5.6. you will get some blurred shots as the sun goes down (or indoors). you will also find that the clarity and resolution at full zoom just isn't there upon close inspection. my brother and myself took the same photo several times. I was using a 300mm prime, and he was using this lens.. the difference was amazing. even I didn't think it could make that big of a difference going into a prime lens. the image was easily 3 times the clarity and resolution on cropped images.

now, don't fret, for the average point and shoot crowd, this will be a very nice step into the telephoto world, but if you are like many, you will be saving your change for the next lens after about 6 months.

Amazing Lens at an Amazing Price! November 23, 2008
Wesley (Houston, TX)
This is a great field lens! Very light, yet good construction, and incredible range. I can shoot at 300mm and not have to use a tripod and my photos come out awesome. I have a Rebel XT, XTi, and XSi and works great on all of them. This has to be the best Canon lens for the money. Get one...you won't be disappointed.

Great wildlife lens! November 19, 2008
putalittleloveinyourheart (Minnesota)
I have had this lens for over 7 years. I have used it with the Canon Rebel G, and will be shortly switching to the Xsi. This lens has a great zoom, and in good, outdoor lighting takes amazing, crystal clear, colorful shots. I shoot mainly wildlife. The detail impresses me everytime I get a shot back. This lens has made me love photography, and constantly strive to be better. I do not use this lens in indoor or low light situations. While I have never used a much higher end lens, I am very happy with this one.

not what I expected November 15, 2008
Manuela Keggenhoff (BC, Canada)
I worked with this lense for about six month now and must admit, its not the quality I would expect from canon. its hard to get sharp pictures as soon as you try to photograph moving objects. pets, kids, outside flowers in the slightest wind, aso ... no chance to get satisfying results.
my EF 75-300mm-lense will soon change its owner - and a new lense with IS will be part of my gear.
