I'm considering getting a Canon 75-300mm telefoto (either the Image Stabilizer one or the regular) and I'm wondering whether or not the extra $400 is worth it. Any opinions?
The IS really does work, I have the 100-400 and when you switch IS on it makes a big difference, especially out at full zoom, also very good for when the light is starting to go.

What kind of shooting are you planing on doing with your new lens?
forget IS, images with IS are never TACK sharp. It may get you a shot in the dark that you couldn't have gotten otherwise but none will be sharp. Spend the extra $400 on a tripod.

IS is great for situations where a tripod is not allowed or not practical.
I have the 75-300 IS lens but have just recently upgraded to a longer zoom.
If you check my portfolio, most of the chipmunk and chickadee shots were done with that lens.
