How's the IS version of the 70-300mm? I haven't gotten a chance yet to really play with the non-IS version as it just came in last night, but I can tell that it's pretty much going to be a tripod lens, as even being stable as a rock wasn't getting me the sharpness I wanted, but setting the camera on something and setting a timer was doing quite well. Can't wait to get outside to try some shots.

I've got to find a nice compact tripod that fits in my camera bag, but extends long enough to be usable and sturdy enough not to be a PoS like the cheapo one I picked up just until I found a decent one.

Jet, Definitely post up some impressions of that nice 30D you grabbed up!
Sorry, here is the one for the 50mm f/1.8: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...highlight=50mm

The 70-300mm IS is awesome, it's build quality and optics are much better then the original 70-300mm, it's not just a difference of IS. I get amazing shots handheld with it as well, even at 300mm in good light!
