Description:
Sporting a 3rd generation image stabilizer, the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens is designed to be handholdable at a shutter speed up to 3 f-stops slower than a non-stabilized lens at the same focal length. "Gyro sensors detect unwanted vibrations, triggering the corresponding movement of a correcting lens group perpendicular to the optical axis. This alters the light path, returning the image to its correct position on the sensor or film plane." [Canon] ...

Automatic tripod sensing "... feedback loops between the IS sensor and stabilizer motor vibrations" [Canon]. This implementation of IS includes Mode 1 and 2 stabilization. Use mode 1 (dual axis stabilization) when shooting stationary subjects and mode 2 (single axis stabilization) when panning with a moving subject. The IS switches are recessed to prevent accidental changes - a nice improvement. In my opinion, image stabilization is the best feature of this lens. It is a significant help when shooting stationary subjects without a tripod.

On the 40D, the reach at 300mm does not intrude personal space and permits the subject to be relax and natural...

The lens is 2+ yrs old. It was sent in to CSC for service, calibration just before warranty expired. 3rd digit of serial number is not "0" or "1" => not batch issue.

Nice and compact in towage. Does not attract attention.
Here's a shot compared to the EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS :)
