Description
Incorporating Canon's second generation Image Stabilization technology, this telephoto zoom responds in as little as 0.5 seconds, while providing up to three stops of correction for camera shake. Its AF system has been refined for better response time and tracking speed. And even the new 8-blade circular aperture offers a more pleasing out-of-focus image. Constructed to pro standards, this fast zoom is also highly resistant to dust and moisture, too.

Strengths: Sharp as a tack images. Quick accurate and quiet focusing.
Weakness: none
I have been reading reviews and seeing performance ratings on this lens for a long time. I finally decided to make the purchase and am very pleased. The weight is not too bad and it feels good in hand.
Strengths: Extremely quick focus; nearly silent operation.
Weakness: Weight makes off-hand slightly uncomfortable.
The adage is true: you get what you pay for. The lens is quick, agile and durable. It's performance in low(er) light situations is superb, even in situations demanding faster shutter speeds (e.g., indoor sports photography). The 70-200 range makes the lens very versatile. Pay the extra for the IS (vis a vis the standard F2.8 model).
Strengths: Great picture quality, Great Built Quality, Super fast focus, Image Stabilizer.
Weakness: None.
I 100% recommend this len to anyone!!! it's worth every single penny you pay for it. If your goal is the top of the line picture quality, this len is your answer. I know the price of 1600 is not nice, but with the rebate upto $150, it is even worth it!!! and you get what you pay for. With the IS, you can even take sharper picture than the one without IS. Both lens are good, but if you take a lot...
Strengths: Super sharp, effortless to use, 320mm reach on 1.6x crop cameras, allows professional access.
Weakness: Super expensive, heavy, draws attention.
If you are debating whether to buy this lens, and/or if the image stabilizer is worth the extra cost, worry no more! It produces super sharp images handheld and with no effort on the part of the shooter. You can just point and shoot! You don't have to play around with settings. It's that easy to get "keepers". The truth is I don't use this lens a lot but when I do, I am always confident of...
Strengths: Great image quality Two modes of Image Stabilization (all directional and panning). Full time manual focus. Almost silent focusing - really fast too. Sherman tank build quality
Weakness: Weight - one of my friends was tipping to one side when trying to take a picture with it.
Wow! It might not be the most graceful lens to use during public occasions (I used during my friend's wedding), but it gives amazing resolution, color quality and reliability given the Image Stabilization. I was able to get shots picking up pimples on peoples face (not intentionally) :) IS makes you feel like you are really in control of the scene, tripod optional for few situations. I have used...
Strengths: super fast focus, exeptional image quality, IS works great.
Weakness: rather heavy 1.5KG and very expensive but worth every $
one of the best lenses I have bought, very good for portrait, sports and wildlife, I haven´t seen any distortion, vigneting or other flaws in pictures taken with this lens. it´s one of the best lenses from Canon, I also have the 17-40L f4 and the EF 50mm f1.4 but the 70-200L IS 2.8 is by far the best !
Strengths: Sharp, fast, usable IS
Weakness: Sore wrists - until you get used to the weight
Lots of things have been written about this lens. I’ve had mine for 9 month2 now and can confirm that it is all true. Heavy? Yes. Costly? Yes. Inconspicuous? No. You instantly forget all three as soon as you drool over your first set of images. Razor sharp, creamy bokeh, great IS. Simply awesome
Strengths: Sharpness, Colors, Powerfully function at the dark place like church and stage, chapel,....
Weakness: The only weakness is, I think, price!
We say that the lens is "a gift from GOD". Usually they say that the only two weaknesses are a price and a weight. But after I used it, I think it's not heavy as I thought before. I think the only deficiency is the price. It has given so many awesome pictures so far although the conditions where I took those pictures were severely bad. This lens gave my family good memories and at the same time...
Strengths: Fast and quiet focusing. Amazing clarity. Image Stabilizer!!
Weakness: Too heavy and pricy!
I used to own 70-200 F4, which is a smaller version of this amazing Canon lense. 70-200 USM IS is quite heavier than F4, but this is well compensated with its image stabilizer. I get crispy sharp images at as slow a shutter speed as 1/2 s. Amazing piece of equipment!!

Amazing Lens
Strengths: Sharp, Amazing Color, Fast, and Image Stabilizer!!!
Weakness: Expensive
Expensive but worth every penny. I also own a 70-200mm F4. After using that lens for about a year, that became my most favoriate lens, but sometime that lens is just not fast enough in indoor/low light situations. Finally I broke down and bought this 70-200mm F2.8 IS and never regret. With IS turned on, I can hand hold this lens at 200mm end using 1/50 second shutter speed and still get a sharp...
