   Summary: Great Canon Lens for Newbies
Let me just say that I'm brand new to DSLRs and this lens just confirmed why I switched from point and shoot digital cameras. Besides having full control of my photos, the lens is capable of capturing extremely crisp pictures at the maximum resolution and even at low light environment. I also have shakey hands and with the help of IS 1 and 2, I can now zoom in and capture clear and crisp photos regardless if it's moving or stationary. The Lock feature is another neat idea. It locks the lens @ 70mm (fully retracted) so you can pull out the lens from your camera bag by holding the front end of the lens preventing it from extending. The lens is made from high quality plastic and about 60% metal so be prepared for the extra weight specially on extended shoots.
I took the lens to its first actual shoot, which is to my son's basketball game a couple of days ago and it performed great with my Canon Rebel XSi. This lens is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive but it gives you quality photos that you will want to look at over and over.

I just have a minor complaint. There are certain situations when the lens takes a little while to focus. Sometimes it takes up to 3 times to focus correctly by half depressing the shutter. This is really not a big deal to me for now. However, I know time is of the essence to advanced or experienced photographers when you're shooting at fast pace so this might become a bigger issue down the road. But for now, I extremely happy with this purchase. So If you are a beginner with DSLRs and have a tight budget, this makes a great starter lens while you dive deep into the expensive world photography.

I am very satisfied with the performance of the image stabilzed feature of the lens. Last week in the Galapagos Islands, I took a number of shots of birds in flight and in the distance. The clarity of the photos is excellent and much better than my old 70-300mm lens.

   Summary: Awesome Lens!!
One of the best purchases I've made in awhile. Very glad I bought the Canon brand after seeing what a friend of mine went through with an off brand lens. You definitely get what you pay for.

   Summary: Canon EF 70-300mm Lens Review
Great lens. Before purchasing this lens, I did some homework. It costs more than some others but I am really glad I chose it. The quality of the photos is awesome. And, it is 100% compatible with my Canon digital - others aren't always completely compatible.
