Terrible choice, terrible resolution, terrible build quality

I bought this lens based on the super telephoto ability and low cost. You truly get what you pay for, and this thing isn't worth a plug nickel. I took a few shots on a tripod and could not believe how terrible this lens was @ 300mm (480mm on a Digital Rebel XT). Incredibly soft. Even stopped down, I would never want to make an enlargement from it. Stay away. Don't believe the fools who are novices, you will be disappointed with this lens. You're much better off to buy the older & used 100-300mm...

Excellent Budget Zoom

For the price, this is an excellent lens.On an APS sized sensor it is equivalent to 480mm at the long end.Some complain about it being a slow lense since the max aperture at full zoom is 5.6That just means you can't use it in low light and expect great results.If you want a fast lense at that length, however, be prepared to pay a lot of money.With the USM it focuses very fast.Works well for outdoor sports.My rating is based on what you get for the money.Of course it's not as good as L glass but...

Nice but...

The lens is good for the price, but it comes with one problem that it drains the battery a lot faster because it is motor based zoom. Good for amateurs, if you have more money go for Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM...

Pretty slow.

Bought this lens with a Digital Rebel XT as part of a package. This lens looks formidable compared to the stock lens. If you're shooting in daylight, you should be able to get some pretty good shots. The 1.6 crop factor on the Digital Rebel XT effectively turns this into a 120-480 35mm equivalent. Can't beat that for the price.Unfortunately, the rather small aperture of f/5.6 at 300mm means this lens can't be used in low, or maybe even low-medium light. Several pictures shot at 300mm in the evening...

Excellent General Purpose Zoom Lens

I bought a Canon EOS 20D digital SLR and the Canon EF 75-300mm zoom lens to take photographs of my children's various sporting events.The magnification factor of this lens is perfect for a variety of sporting events including lacrosse, basketball, swimming and gymnastics.The focusing speed is very good for capturing action shots.I highly recommend this lens as an affordable general purpose zoom lens....
