there is a 75-300 and a 70-300 both with IS, one is huge compared to the other.

i was looking at these when deciding whether or not to get the canon 70-200 F4 L especially as it has IS. so i will be interested to see some pics. only thing that stopped me getting one is that i saw a 70-200 f4 going cheap and in the reviews i read it seems that its a little sharper

complete different between the two man, it's a good lens but not even close to the 70-200 L range. It soften's at 300mm the IS is 2 stop (iirc), the AF is slower, CA's at wide open.
It's not terrible though, but not great if you're wanting pukka shots
