How it works
Description
ATTENTION NATURE AND SPORT PHOTOGRAPHERS - introducing the Canon EF 70-300mm IS USM Lens.

The EF 70-300mm features Canon's 3-stop Image Stabilizer (IS) making the camera ideal for handheld photography. Canon’s Image Stabilizer allows photographers to use shutter speeds up to 3-stops slower with limited visible increase in image blur. Furthermore it is ideal for low light conditions, fast paced scenes and for shooting from moving vehicles.

Optimised Super Spectra lens coatings and lens element shaping suppress flare and ghosting. Coatings also help achieve true colour balance and sharp high contrast images. A circular barrel aperture helps to create an attractive, even background blur when isolating a subject at large apertures.

The lens's micro USM motor uses ultra-sonic frequency vibrations to drive rapid auto-focus with near-silent operation. A high speed CPU and optimised AF algorithm contribute to AF speed literally faster than the human eye.

Canon EF 70-300 USM Lens is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 37.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent reasonably priced lens I purchased this lens to replace an aging EF 70-300mm f 4-5.6 IS USM which had served me well but was beginning to search for focus and had become a bit noisy. My photography field is nature which requires quick, sharp focus. The EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM is a more than adequate replacement. It is lighter and more compact than my old lens, the focus is quick, photos are sharp with excellent color regardless of the lighting. I have a wide selection of Canon lenses including three of the "L" series and with both extenders. The EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM is almost always mounted on the camera that I carry with me at all times while I am outdoors.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Image Stabilization on this lens is UNBELIEVABLE!! Had this lens for a day and haven't have much time to play with it, however, the first thing I did was test the IS. Judge for yourself but these pics were taken handheld, 300mm, 100 ISO, f/5.6. The first pic was at 1/50th of a second, the second at 1/400th sec. Zoom in on the siping on the tire and you can barely see a difference. I think it's pretty outstanding for handheld @ 1/50th. I've always heard that your shutter speed should be higher than your focal length or you will get camera shake. Not in this case. I can't wait to test it out more and will update when I do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent lens at a reasonable price This is the best lens I've ever owned. OK, so I don't own the 100-400, but little brother here is only a quarter of the price. It benefits from the latest IS and AF technology, and the optics are superb. I wouldn't even consider any of the other Canon 300 zooms, not even the L, and the low-end 75-300 lacks IS. For me, this replaces the EF-S 55-250, which is also an excellent lens, but the 70-300 has better optics, IS, AF, and a little more reach. I use it on a APS-C camera, so I don't know how it does in the corners on a full-frame detector, but on the crop detector it is excellent, very sharp, very little distortion, and very low aberration. It is reasonably compact and light weight, which makes it great for hiking/birding/wildlife/etc.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great image stabilization. Nice for close-ups too With the image stabilization, it works well for distant shots, such as buildings, but also worked well for shooting flowers as the long focal length gave me a shallow depth of field. The lens is moderate weight, and is not too heavy even on an EOS M with an adapter. The LCD lens information display is clever, although I don't look at it too closely while busy shooting. The automatic conversion of focal length for a crop-sensor is nice. I do look at the camera shake amount to see how well I am holding the lens. This is a good quality product and a good value.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible for the price! This lens is to die for when you're on a budget. I work in sports and couldn't afford the fancy lenses, so I bought this one just to have something with the zoom needed for proper sports photos and WOW! Sure there are little things here and there (sometimes slow to focus being the main one), with it being a lower quality lens, but I can get amazing photos from it and for the price those little quirks don't matter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Lens Only L options in this zoom range are extremely heavy (and white). Not a fan of the colour or weight. Waited for this lens to be in stock and ordered. Used for a recent trip to Hawaii. Unbelievable picture quality and focus speed. Absolutely no noise during focus. Again, the quality and colour of the pictures are unreal. For the money, lower weight, and non stand out colour, this lens is worth every penny and then some. Truly impressed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bang for the Buck!! I bought this lens almost a year ago .. It's built solid (even though it's plastic) has a good feel, and takes amazing photo's. The auto focusing speed of the lens is truly amazing! It focuses almost as fast as your eyes! Very smooth when shooting video. I've compared the pictures to those taken with my 70-200 f/4 L IS, which in my opinion is one of the sharpest lenes out there .. and it holds it's own! Very little chromatic aberration vibrant colors and very sharp. The LCD screen provides useful information, but I don't use it much. I've never used the 100-400 L IS II and I wouldn't expect this lens to be of that caliber. It's not weather sealed and made of metal like the L lenses .. but I don't shoot in extreme weather anyway so that doesn't matter. It's a consumer lens, not a pro lens!! What you have here is a very good lens, that's not heavy, takes beautiful pictures, all at a great price point. I'm not a pro or anything .. but I think this lens is a steal at this price ... well worth the investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome lens for both full and crop frames I bought this lens and it takes awesome pictures on both my 6D and 90D. Under good light, I can not tell a difference in picture quality between this lens vs my 70-200 F4 L IS. and the extra reach to 300mm is very good to have. Plus the lens is lighter and I took it on my recent trip to Alaska and caught some great shots of Grizzly bears.
