depends on whether you really need it.If u got $ go might as well go for is.No $ get non-is.
simple!

hate to repeat, but it really does depend on what you are going shoot... if you need the flexibility to be mobile, the IS is invaluable. if you can setup some make shift "shooting position" (be it tripod, wall, or someone's shoulder), you can afford to save the $1k on the non-IS version.
controlling our cam handheld at 200mm without IS can be pretty difficult, even if you can get high shutter speeds exceeding 1/250.

hi, sry i didnt go into details of what i prefer to shoot.
im using the canon 400D wif kit lens and i frequently go to autograph session (签唱会
and concert of varies artist to take photos.
i have been seeing photos taken by lots of ppl in this forum for quite sometime using this lens and they turn out much better than those i hav took, thus i begin saving money since the beginning of the year.
other than that i also like to take potraits of other ppl, but dare not approach them
not to exclude landscape as well

worth it. period. esp. if you can't bring a mono/tripod into the concert.
if you get the non-IS, you will itch to think whether you should actually bought the IS-ed in the first place.
do a search in canon subforum, you should see some similar discussions.
don't buy this lens just becuz it's legendary. go and try it for yourself... the weight might shock you

hi mum

Hi..
There isn't a lens to get all the action.
For landscape you might be more interested in wide angle lenses. For Canon it will be 16-35 f/2.8 L or 17-40 f/4 L. Non L series EF-S 10-22 or 17-55.
For portrait lenses are predominated by the few. 50 mm f/1.2,f/1.4, 85mm f/1.2,f1.8, 135mm f/2.
If you are getting the lens for low lighting like concert that would be good with a tripod/monopod as well.
Know what you need and not what you want.
