Canon EF 70~300mm f/4~5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens: If you're looking for a lens that gets you close to the action, this versatile telephoto zoom lens provides a longer reach for sports, weddings and events, nature photography and more. It's equipped with an image stabilizer, so you can create sharp photos and video while using slower shutter speeds. And when you're not shooting, the zoom lock button lets you keep the lens securely fixed in place.

I love that this lens has the IS feature. In all of the years I've owned Canon, this is the first set of lenses that I've had IS on. Since I'm getting older - my hand is not a steady as it used to be - the IS feature really helps! Also the 70-300 is a nice coverage distance. Very pleased! Shots taken from 18th floor balcony - with two (2) different lenses.

I love this camera - all features are great - took some getting used to some of the newer features such as the 19 point AF - if one of the points isn't focused on the object you want in focus - your pics will not be what you expect. I've shot a little over a thousand pics so far (had the camera since mid October 2012) - both motion and stills - Love it! Have been a Canon owner since I was a child - learned from my dad - from the old regular film cameras - which I still have, to my first digital and so on.....have had experience with others - would / will ALWAYS come back to Canon!
What's great about it: Excellent Features!
What's not so great: Takes some getting used to -AF
