should i get this one, the 55-250, or the 75-300? one of those comes with the camera bundle im getting. how come the 75-300 costs less, but zooms farther? im afraid its not a good quality lens.
@thecreativewebshow Exactly. The 75-300's IQ is not good, and it doesn't have IS. Get the 55-250 if you're on a budget, or the 70-300 IS USM if you can spend more.
has anyone else owning this lens have an issue with focusing...when looking through the viewfinder, i focus and notice the picture jumps when try to focus? anyone having this issue??
Last for a few years... Massive lens... You must be new to the hobby :D
My 55-250 lasted all of 6 months before I upgraded to the 300 f/4 L IS. It is a very fun lens though. Definitely the best value per dollar telephoto zoom.
Dude! You have to stop uploading videos of you showing off your camera... It's making me drool all over my computer and I can't afford to keep replacing the keyboard... Lol great video bro, you deserve it. Very, very nice camera!
Very well-done review. Excellent presentation without going overboard. As for the lack of styrofoam, Canon stopped due to the cost of styrofoam and because it is non-biodegradeable. They still use it for the L lenses though, as it does provide better impact protection than plastic. Having said that, do you have any desire for an "L" lens for the T2i? L lenses are fullframe ready, and are constant aperture. 70-200 F4 L IS USM would be this lens' big sibling and T2i friendly to boot.
Hey man, I had a play around with my friends lens the other day ( that could sound dodgy..:P) try this on crop mode @ 250mm and you feel like a sniper ;D I could zoom across my whole town where i live :D :P
Very cool :b

@thecreativewebshow the 75-300mm lens doesnt have image stabiliztion, your shots will not be very stable if you move your hand alot (blury)
