The power of Image Stabilizer!!

Got myself a new lens today, Canon 70-300 F4-5.6 IS USM.

It is my first lens with Canon's anti-hand shaking function, the Image Stabilizer. People have been talking about how helpful "IS"is. I didn't realize it's real power until I eventually got one.

See the images below and pay attention to the specs.

ISO 1600, 1/13 sec, f5.6 at 300mm
Without IS

ISO 1600, 1/13 sec, f5.6 at 300mm
With IS

ISO 1600, 0.4 sec, f5.6 at 300mm
Without IS

ISO 1600, 0.4 sec, f5.6 at 300mm

Don't listen to me. Just go and get one for yourself and you will no longer worry about your shaky hands!!!

Gosh I just wish that I could have this lens much earlier!
