This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most products of this type, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need.

Review of Canon telephoto zoom lens - 100 mm - 300 mm F/4.5-5.6
Advantages: Fast autofocus, Excellent quality for a low-ish end lens. Disadvantages: Not that sharp at 300mm
...extra quid and having the canon USM Lens.
The build quality of this lens is excellent, and for a long-ish lens, its compact, and autofocusing is VERY fast (with my EOS 30 anyway).
Optically, the lens is excellent from 75mm right up through 250mm, particularly for it's price. However at above 250mm the sharpness drops off... FAST. There's no problems at f32-f8... but f5.6 at 300mm is a no-no if what you want is razor sharp images.
Ok so maybe i ... ...it has to be a canon 'L' series lens, but thats no good unless you have a few grand lying around to spend on your glass...
All in all, a great buy for everyday use, and wonderfull if you dont enlarge or you dont need everything razor sharp. Not so great if you want clean crisp images when they're 12"x8" and above.
That said of course, buy yourself good ASA800 film (fuji extra is excellent) and you'll be shooting at f8 anyway so the sharpness isnt ...

Advantages: Light in weight for its size; ultra-fast focussing Disadvantages: Faster lenses exist (at a price!); zoom range a modest x3
...now use it on my Canon 20D.
It is light in weight, and, fitted with the essential but pricey lens hood, produces sharp, flare-free photos throughout the zoom range. It is easy to handle and allows manual focussing WITHOUT moving any switches to disengage the motor. In addition, the lens focusses so quickly as to be near-instantaneous and is also completely silent.
The maximum aperature varies from a slow 4 to 5.6, which limits its use in dim lighting ... ...is the price for the light weight design - a wider front glass makes a for a heavier, and far more costly, lens.
The front of teh lens has a 58mm screw thread, allowing for teh easy attachment of a UV filter, which I would regard as essential to protect the front element.
The lens fits inside a standard 'pouch'-type protective carrying bag and this is also necessay to protect the lens when carrying it about on a shoot.
So... add an extra £35 or ...
