Amazon.com Product Description
This compact and lightweight EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens is ideal for shooting sports, portraits, and wildlife. The lens is distinguished by a newly developed micro ultra-sonic monitor (USM) that makes autofocusing quicker and quieter, along with an improved zoom mechanism that includes a silver ring on the front for a luxurious touch. The micro USM makes this version of the lens particularly suitable for applications that require a fast autofocus, such as sporting events or wildlife shoots. Best of all, the USM version shares many of the same features that makes the non-USM lens so popular, such as a compact size, a close focusing range, and accessory compatibility. As with all Canon lenses, this unit carries a one-year warranty. - Focal length: 75-300mm

 Love it! October 2, 2008
I love, love, love this lens. It's a bit long so it's not ideal for a walk around lens...but MAN, oh man does it capture some amazing shots. I first tried it out on a windy day at the lake with my nieces and nephews and caught some absolutely amazing shots. The clarity of the images even at full zoom is incredible, and don't even get me started on the bokeh! It is just a wonderful lens...now if Canon would only make it a bit more squat, it would be perfect!!
Great value....great lens! September 30, 2008
You can't beat the price. My dad bought the same lens about a year ago, and he paid almost twice the price! There was absolutely nothing wrong with this lens. It was identical to the one my dad bought at Best Buy. I highly recommend it!
New Lens September 28, 2008
A great lens for the money. I am shooting pictures of 2 sons competitive soccer games for their respective teams. Posting pictures on line for the teams. We are getting great reviews by all who see them. Great clarity on distant shots.
For my new XSI September 14, 2008
We were going on vacation to Florida and needed a new lens. Went to the only source we feel confidant in online shopping compared prices and made this purchase at an awesome price. We rec. it in a couple days as promised just in time for our trip. The product was new in original box and undamaged. Flawless. It was a great lense. Highly recommend it if you are not ready to make those HUGE investments on the other lenses. The only thing we had any trouble with is the lense fogging really bad going from inside to outside in the heat and humidity. I new it was not a weather sealed lense, so no surprise. I did miss a few good shots of some beautiful Dolphins but this was my fault for not putting the lense in a place to acclimate it to the weather conditions long enough before using it. Overall I give it a great review.
You'll need a tripod for sure... August 18, 2008
I am a novice and beginning to enjoy picture taking. This lens is a capable lens. It can capture some great images but in low light it requires a tripod since my hands are kind of shaky. For the money is is a great tool to have in your bag. If I were to do it over again I would have saved my money and gotten a lens that had image stabilization and maybe a faster aperture. Also this lens does allow me to capture images from a further distance. That way I don't have to get right into my 8ft boa's face to get some good close ups.
