Canon EF 70-300mm IS DO USM: Just DO it!?

So you just got that amazing entry level professional dSLR (EOS 20D) and finally grew out of the kit lens. You even upgraded to a more versatile universal zoom lens and a dedicated portrait / macro lens. Now may be the time to discover that you need more to go 'farther' -- literally. Or to be more...

Nature Photography Gem

Pros Lightweight, small and versitle. Smooth Zooming
Cons Very Pricey, Non Fully Functional Locking Feature
Recommended it? Yes

As a Nature Photographer and one that works mainly without the use of a tripod, mostly because I spend a lot of time scrambling up and down embankments, rock outcroppings and through thickets; that I usually carry two cameras, one with this zoom lens and one with a 10-22mm wide angle.

Worthless piece of junk

Pros Compact lens....nothing else
Cons Useless beyond 200 mm, heavy, useless image quality, very expensive
Recommended it? No

I read all the reviews and looked at the pictures submitted and then decided to buy this lens. I was going on a three week safari from Cape Town thru Namibia, Botswana and ending in Victoria Falls. I passed through Etosha and Chobe National Parks on the way. I took 3700 photos in total and 200 to... Read full review »

A good, But not Great, Lens.

Pros Small and light given its zoom range. Image Stabilized.
Cons Lower optical quality than a lens this $$$ should have
Recommended it? No

The Canon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO is a pretty impressive lens in some ways- But falls short in some areas as well. I wanted to try it, as it has a nice zoom range (70-300mm), is fairly small and light, and has both the Ultrasonic Focus and Image Stabilizers. So, I gave it a whirl.

Pros Very good carry around lens, well built and very fun to use.
Cons This lens is quite expensive, but in the end it is well worth it.
Recommended it? Yes

I have had this lens for about a month now. I also own the 70-200 L IS 2.8 which is a great lens as well, but big and very heavy. I wanted something that is easy to carry around, I also wanted Image stabilization and a little more length and not quite so heavy. This lens is fun to use, I now take... Read full review »

Quick, Quiet, with Image Stabilization

byhedgerow Jun 27, 2006

Pros Somewhat smaller Quick and Quiet focusing Image Stabilizing is great.
Cons Bit heavier than hyped "May be short, but wide as applesauce jar."
Recommended it? Yes

Simple. I like it.

I wanted to replace my Tamron 70-300. The Tamron was OK, and I had gotten it because for a while the Canon 70-300 USM lenses weren't available. My problem was, the Tamron didn't focus quick enough.

I wanted to be able to quickly point to a bird in flight and... Read full review »

Pros Size, build quality, image stabilization, USM
Cons Image quality, weight
Recommended it? No

I bought this lens for the reason most users are probably thinking of buying this lens (assuming image and build quality are givens): the size. The idea of having a 300mm lens that is only 4" long was hard to resist. While many things about the lens are attractive (the build quality, the size, the... Read full review »
