This lens has some serious zoom for it's size and weight. I have used it to shoot several action scenes and it has performed to my expectations.

I did a ton of research before purchasing, and I was not disappointed. Clean shots even at full zoom. However I would recommend the use of a tripod if shooting for an extended period. Very satisfied.

Why have a DSLR without a telephoto lens? This one is fully compatible with my camera, and the image stabilization and auto focus work really well (a good thing, since the lens is a bit heavy for me for hand-held photography)

This is not a high end lense. It is good for the price point. Zoom is quiet, stabilization is great, has caught some great action shots. Worth the money.

Good lens for getting those far away shots. I like the image stabilization feature of the lens. I've owned other Canon lenses in the past and this one is one of my favorites.

I say good for 2 reasons. I am new to photography, and an amateur to all its equipment and accessories. And also, I am sure there are far more superior lenses that cost a lot more that canon makes. I leave room for that. So, with that in mind, my review is this is a good lens. Worth it for budget. Nice clear lens.

I took this out to take pictures of a sporting event. Works great except that the only thing it is good for. Not enough zoom for wildlife photography and doesn't take a lot of light in. Still recommend this though if you need an upgrade in the zoom feature from your kit lens.
