An affordable telephoto zoom with Image Stabilizer
Advanced three-stop Image Stabilizer (IS) technology
makes the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS USM an ideal
telephoto zoom for shooting in dim light and at slow
shutter speeds without incurring camera shake.
The powerful, yet reasonably priced, EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6
IS USM will appeal to nature and sports photographers
looking to achieve sharper images when shooting handheld.
When fitted to an EOS camera containing an APS–C sized
sensor, the lens gives an angle of view roughly equivalent
to a 112–480mm lens on a full-frame DSLR.
