Canon EF 70-300mm DO IS USM

[spv79]

Hi, Where can I get canon 70-300mm DO IS USM ? I have seen reviews and all says the picture is not as sharp as 70-300mm IS USM. But canon's web site says excellent image. Did anyone use it ? Where can I get it for best (low) price ? The compactness and anytime manual attracts me.

This lens has been discussed here b4. You can do a search for it.

Anyway, I've used my friend's one before and I've very unimpressed. You're probably better off with the new EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM. Even though it's physically longer than the DO, it's actually lighter... I've seen samples from this lens and it looks pretty good actually.

Don't get that. heard much complaint. if you are really after quality. get the similary priced 70-200mm f/4L lens or the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

Thanks for the info. I should go for 70-300 IS USM f 4-5.6

oh, I thought of buying it, good that you have pointed out. But I am not keen on the longer size of the lens

Do you have samples from that lens, esp 200mm to 300 mm focal lengths ?
