This lens is lightweight compared to several of my other Canon "L" lenses. The IQ that the lens produces is on par with my 70-200 IS version 2 and the 100-400 IS version 2. Quick to focus and a pleasure to use. I highly recommend this lens. I bought it to use when travelling to get that distant picture while not weighing very much.

Pros:

Amazing IQ. Very light and very similar in function to my 7D.
|
Cons:
|
A smaller camera for those who have large hands. Wish it was a bit bulkier.
|
|
Seems to have most of the functions that are on my 7D. Pics straight from the camera are very sharp without any sharpening applied. A great carry around, light weight camera although not as robust as other models (40D, 7D, 5Dii etc).

Solidly built, super AF and a host of great features.
|
Cons:
|
None as of now.

I have previously owned the 300D and the 40D. This camera provides many more features and performs flawlessly. Best feature in my opinion is the fantastic images at high ISO's.

Hard to write enough superlatives for this lens. Very sharp, incredible colors, fast focus, and very lightweight. I also have the the 70-200 F4L non IS lens. I believe that this lens is sharper if that is possible. The IS puts this great lens over thetop. Highly recommend this lens to anyone.

Pros:
|
Excellent IQ throughout the entire focal range. Very fast autofocus and balances nicely on the 40D.
|
Cons:
|
Weight.
|
|
Just got this lens based on some recommendations from owners of this lens. This lens is extremely sharp throughout the entire focal range. I was very surprised to see the sharpness at 400mm. The push pull type zoom is easy to use. Colors are fantastic. The only negative that I have experienced is the weight of the lens and I must emphasize that it is a very small negative. I highly recommend this lens.

Pros:

Excellent IQ, really good colors.
|
Cons:

Build isn't the best.
|

For the money it's a no brainer. Excellent shots with this lens. It's definitely not a "L" build quality lens but it produces quality shots. The IS feature is also great.

Very sharp lens. It is a little noisy focussing but not bad enough to be annoying. Great lens for the price.

Great lens. Very sharp throughtout focal range. Excellent color and contrast. Fantastic lens for the price.
|
Cons:
|
Build quality is not that of an "L" lens.
|
|
I was amazed at the sharpness of the pictures at both focal ends. The additional functionality of having IS is a huge benefit. The lens is also fairly light so as to not pose a weight problem.
