Wildlife shooting with 100-400mm
I have owned this lens for several years...it is indispensable for shooting wildlife...especially in Africa that I visit every year. Attached to my Canon 40D (I'm now using 7D) it gives me comparable 160-640mm focal length and I only use it on camera that has 1.6 sensor 'conversion'. Pictures are excellent...Image Stabilization is essential. Yes, it's heavy, but I could not be without it. I do a lot of hand held shooting and also use a monopod when beanbags not available. I use Canon 28-300mm IS lens on Canon 5D Mark II when long lens not needed. 1:1 on 5D II is great, and 28-300 covers most situations. Yes, the 28-300mm lens is also heavy, but this senior lady is used to carrying it, and the versatility of 28-300 range is fabulous, so I never need more than 2 lenses to tote in a rolling camera bag. When not toting long 100-400, I put a 17-35 on one body as a backup.

Canon EF 100-400mm zoom
I've not had a chance to use this lense a lot, but the few shots I have taken have been incredibly sharp. It's an amazing piece of technology! Highly recommended.

Canon EF100-400mm f 4.5-5.6L
This is a great piece of glass. It was just too Big and slow for me. If you have good bright light And really need the reach this lens will make some really great shots. I loved the IS, But for me it was just a little slow and a bit cumbersome. I opted to return it and get the EF70-200 f 2.8L. No Bad words about this lens, it just fits in a niche that isn't for me.

Very, very heavy! No kidding.
I was surprised how heavy it was when I received the package from UPS. I wanted a long zoom lens, and this one is over 3 lbs - Heavy and Bulky. I have a monopod, but this lens is killing both of my wrists and my shoulders. I used it for couple times, then packed it away...However, absolutely amazing photos.

Super sharp mega zoom lens
I've nicknamed my 100-400mm lens "the Great White", and I've put it to the test in safaris in Africa, looking for tigers in India, and shooting professional soccer in Chicago, and this lens has held up remarkably well.

The push-pull zoom for this lens is a little weird to get used to, but it's now second nature. The IS feature features two modes, one for panning and one for static objects. For me, it helps with "shaky hands" because of the weight of this lens. In fact, if you're going to be shooting an event with this, get a support (monopod, bean bag, your kid's head, etc) for it.

This lens is a light hog and not that fast compared to the speedier prime lenses. When I shoot soccer games, I notice the pros with 300 f/2.8 or better lenses. Well, since I'm not a pro nor do I make any money from my photos, I have to make the best of what I can afford, and this is it. Even when shooting a friend's kid's ice skating event, I was able to take awesome images in the relative dark with a fast shutter speed and higher ISO without issues.

I had the 70-300mm lens before and I thought it was awesome until I borrowed a friend's 100-400. The difference in the quality of the images is just breathtaking. Like a previous reviewer, I screwed up by not investing in this lens earlier. It's a workhorse that has traveled with me everywhere. Sure, it's heavy, but it's an amazing piece of hardware that needs to be part of every serious photographer's arsenal of lenses.

Canon Cameras History

Canon Corporation is a world-known manufacturer of office equipment ranging from printers and fax machines to scanners and copying machines.

The amount of photographic equipment produced by Canon is rather moderate in comparison to their other products. But it is in demand around the world. Don’t forget that it is the photographic cameras that the company began its business with.

As early as in 1933 Goro Yoshida and his brother-in-law, Sabura, founded the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory in Tokyo. Their goal was to create a Japanese camera and make it known throughout the world. To begin with, the young people bought up and examined most advanced German models of that day. The enterprise was sponsored by Takeshi Mitarai, best friend of Uchida, a prosperous doctor, who later became president of the company.

In the following year, 1934, Japan's first domestically-made 35mm focal-plane shutter camera “was born” and was named "Kwanon" - after the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The trademark Canon was registered a year later.

The first consumer model Hansa Canon appeared in 1937 and the le...   More About Canon Cameras
