Hi
I have the 70 - 300 IS which is an update from the old 75 -300 image stablized lens .
The new one has an ED element and beter IS so you can hand hold down to 1/60 no problem and USM a nice lens and resonable price ( about $1000 ) but seems a lot compared with the kit lenses which don't have any of the above features.
The IS feature is particularly good for wild life photography where there never seems to be enough light for fast shutter speeds.
