@romanben If you're one of the people who looks and is great at catching the perfect moment, you don't need things like a 7D, 50D, or 1D.. It's the lens that ends up giving the better quality. (for those who don't know) There is a video on DigitalRevTV that shows the results of entry-level camera + Pro lens and its opposite. :) I'm hoping to get this on my 60D Soon

@00sven00sven00 Yes it will. Canon crop bodies "rebel" series will accept EF and EFS lenses. I have this on a 550D and its fantastic although some would note about it being unbalanced. I tend to hold the lens more and its just fine. Always when upgrading glass>body. 550 is a fantastic camera. Note on a crop body you are getting an equivalent of 112mm-320mm reach.

So, its really is a great update.. if i'm to get a lens this range, should i go for this one? or i should get the older version for money issues??

[urwholefamilydied]

I seriously hate IS being referred to in terms of "stops". So Mr. Shakey Hands is going to get the same amount of stops reduces as Mr. Still Hands? I don't think so... where do they come up this this shit?

[Wes2299]

@TechnexLOL Agreed, only retards will suggest you to spend the money on a more expensive body. Money is better spent in good lenses.

[thebroadcastviewer]

so is the mark II worth the extra $500 ? someone please give me they're honest opinion ...

[superfest18]

omg that bokeh id surperb 

[TechnexLOL]

@00sven00sven00

Yes it will, don't listen to the fools, the 550D is a very, very capable camera with all the latest features and tech.
