Recently got a 70-200 F4 IS and the shots are better on the XS than the T3i.

^^ Nice! How are you finding the 70-200 f4 on the 1000D Jan?

Thanks John. It's a must have lens if your looking to upgrade from the 55-250 IS or 75-300. The quality is second to none and you can really tell when comparing to old shots taken with the 55-250. It performs much better on a EOS 40D or 7D body but on the Rebel it still works great. It is rapid, silent and sharp.

Hi. I'm new. I recently converted from an 18x super zoom point and shoot so I'm adjusting to life without the incredible reach of my trusty Lumix.

I started looking at lenses, just for reference, not ready to buy and I came across this one...

Question - is the lack of image stabilization in this lens going to cause me problems? Do I need to save up for the more expensive lenses that have it? My main use would be outdoor daylight photography for this so it's just walk point and shoot that I am thinking about.

I don't think the 70-300 is very well regarded. Have a look at the 55-250 IS

That's a great starter lens, sharp and has IS, coupled with the 18-55mm IS II makes a nice kit.

Yes the 55-250 IS is a fantastic lens for the price. The 75-300 is one of the most rubbish Canon lenses ever made.

My XS came bundled with the 75-300. I think it's decent for beginners but you'll need a tripod. I use mine for sports alot. IS would be nice though. There's a lens example forum.

It's a pretty big downgrade.
What are the 2 lenses you already have? 17-40L isn't very wide on a 1.6 crop sensor. It's much better on a full frame so if your looking for ultra wide don't buy it. If you want a general walk around lens it's good.
