From the Manufacturer
The most affordable of Canon’s long telephoto zooms, this lens is excellent for subjects from portraits to wildlife and nature. It shares the same 13-element optical system as the 75-300mm USM lens, but uses a DC motor for autofocus. Close-focusing down to 4.9 feet (1.5m) allows filling the frame (at 300mm) with a subject the size of a dollar bill, and it’s compatible with the Canon 58mm Close-up lens 500D for even more spectacular shots of small objects.

Isolate the Interesting Part
The eye tends to see the whole rather than the individual parts. It also sees what’s near and not what’s far. By bringing attention to those things missed by the eye, you can create many interesting pictures. It could be the grimace of an athlete, the grill of a classic car, or a girl against a blurred background. Telephoto lenses can also compress images to give dramatic effects. You are limited only by your imagination.

BEST IS BETTER
I OWN A CANON XSI REBEL DIGITAL AND THIS LENSE IS A GREAT PRODUCT, GOOD PICTURES, VERY CLEAR, WORTH EVERY CENT, AND MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER BRANDS THAT WILL FIT, BUT, DON'T WORK. YOU WON'T BE SORRY TO OWN ONE OF THESE.

great value, but you will desire more shortly
well, everyone needs one.. and for many (including myself) this is the first step in the telephoto road. yes, the value is there, and for the casual photographer that "just needs a telephoto", this will work out.

what you will soon discover is that with a aperture of 5.6. you will get some blurred shots as the sun goes down (or indoors). you will also find that the clarity and resolution at full zoom just isn't there upon close inspection. my brother and myself took the same photo several times. I was using a 300mm prime, and he was using this lens.. the difference was amazing. even I didn't think it could make that big of a difference going into a prime lens. the image was easily 3 times the clarity and resolution on cropped images.

now, don't fret, for the average point and shoot crowd, this will be a very nice step into the telephoto world, but if you are like many, you will be saving your change for the next lens after about 6 months.

Amazing Lens at an Amazing Price!
This is a great field lens! Very light, yet good construction, and incredible range. I can shoot at 300mm and not have to use a tripod and my photos come out awesome. I have a Rebel XT, XTi, and XSi and works great on all of them. This has to be the best Canon lens for the money. Get one...you won't be disappointed.
