Where it was a combined article (covering both new lenses) just under the first image I read his statement as 70-300 rather than 70-200 (existing, not new lens). I see now he really is talking about the existing 70-200 not the new 70-300. I also see down the bottom of the article he states the new 70-300 will be of interest to intermediate level photographers using the 20D. Hmm maybe that means that lens will be affordable since it is not professional level! Since the two lenses are not the same class it might be better if there were two articles or at least a statement at the top stating Canon has released 1 pro level and 1 consumer level. As soon as I saw Professional level I went into scan mode only thinking the price would be too high for not-for-profit photography. I have the older 75-300 lens [not IS], and like you with your 100-300 don't find it great optically. Even using a tripod the images are still not impressive. After reading quite a few user mildly warm reviews/comments about their 75-300 IS (newer than mine) lens I figured it was not worth upgrading to. Hopefully this new 70-300 IS will indeed be priced with the consumer in mind, and will be a large improvement over similar older consumer lenses. Take care, Linda

Phil referred to the 70-200 at the top of article covering both new lenses, so I read that to be the new 70-300. As soon as I saw Professional and 'L' I went into nothing more than scan mode figuring the price would be way too high for not-for-profit photography which I'm into. Take care, Linda

I hope the new 70-300IS is consumer priced, and as good as you indicated the specs indicate it will be. Good price and quality? hmmm 50mm 1.8 came to mind. A repeat would be nice! Take care, Linda |
