EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III

EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III
I went back 22 pages and nothing was said about this lens??? If I am not in the right form please forgive Me! I just ordered this lens B/C I can not spend too much $$ But want to take Pic's of My son on the Soccer Field. I also just got the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi 12.2MP with 18-55mm. This is a MUCH BIGGER STEP than my G9.....
But I will be fine with this EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Lens RIGHT?????

Sure. I spent the first few years shooting sports with a Sigma 70-300 lens. It gave pleasing results for the price of the lens.

Thanks Mike I was lookin and ONLY seen 70-200 or 70-300 but nothing on the 75-300..

The same as what??

If you want to get an idea of how the Canon 75-300mm lens will work: pretty well, from experience.

as non USM?

its a Micro USM so it's not the good Ring USM you hear about. Isn't this one of Canon's first IS lenses? I heard it's a piece of crap that I often forget about it and I wonder if people mean the 70-300 f/4-5.6 which is QUITE good actually.... but alas the 75 spells blah... what do you guys think?

Honestly, if you want a cheap zoom, I really urge you to look at the 55-250 if you can't afford an expensive lens...
