I\'ve narrowed down my zoom options to either the Tamron 70-300 or the Canon 70-200 f/4L. The Tamron is a few hundred less used and has IS and more range. So, I\'m just curious from your Canon users how important the IS at this range. I used to own a 55-250 but never used it, but my needs have changed. I\'ll mostly be using it for landscapes, some wildlife, and my kids at the park/backyard, etc. I probably won\'t be doing much low light or stuff at night...possibly some landscapes at night, but on a tripod.
